Shocking Representation by Adam Lowenstein
Explores the ways in which a group of groundbreaking horror films engaged the haunting social conflicts left in the wake of World War II, Hiroshima, and the Vietnam War. This book shows that through allegorical representations these directors' films confronted and challenged comforting historical narratives and notions of national identity.-
