Cisco Kid: American Hero with Hispanic Roots
The Cisco Kid: American Hero, Hispanic Roots is a book that expands on Francis Nevins's 1998 work, The Films of The Cisco Kid. This lavishly illustrated coffee-table book retains the original's thorough, chronologically ordered study of the filmic Cisco Kid cycle and its in-depth analysis of the Cisco phenomenon, while adding a Hispanic sensibility to the history of the character in United States film.
Despite the Cisco Kid's initial creation outside the Hispanic world by such mainstream writers and filmmakers as O. Henry and Webster Cullison, by 1929 with the first Cisco sound film, In Old Arizona, this fictional character was endowed with a Latino persona that it has invariably retained both in mainstream American culture and in Hispanic culture within the United States and elsewhere.
Featuring a wealth of film stills, lobby cards, and posters, this book is sure to delight anyone interested in the Cisco Kid. The Cisco Kid has become an enduring icon, a symbol of American heroism with deep roots in Hispanic culture. This volume explores the character's evolution, from his humble beginnings to his status as a beloved figure in both mainstream and Hispanic-American popular culture.
Through its comprehensive analysis and visually stunning presentation, The Cisco Kid: American Hero, Hispanic Roots provides a rich and nuanced understanding of this iconic character's place in the cultural landscape of the United States. It is a must-read for film scholars, cultural historians, and fans alike, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of American and Hispanic identities in the realm of cinema.
