Challenges notions of Cold War American art, culture, and politics.
COLD WAR EXILES IN MEXICO: U.S. Dissidents and the Culture of
Critical Resistance

The onset of the Cold War in the 1940s and 1950s precipitated the
exile of many U.S. writers, artists, and filmmakers to Mexico.
Rebecca M. Schreiber illuminates the work of these cultural exiles
and shows how the Cold War culture of political exile challenged
American exceptionalist ideology and demonstrated the resilience of
oppositional art, literature, and film in response to state
repression.
"Rebecca M. Schreiber's groundbreaking study interweaves archival
historical research with insightful formal analyses of visual art,
movies, and literature produced by U.S. Cold War exiles in Mexico
during the 1940s and 1950s. Exploring the exiles' relation to their
host culture in all of its complexity, Schreiber illuminates the
collaborative, inter-American dimensions of their innovative
aesthetic projects. " -Claire F. Fox, The University of Iowa
"Highly original and innovative, Cold War Exiles In Mexico is an
invaluable contribution to the scholarship on Cold War cultural
production." -Penny Von Eschen, author of Satchmo Blows Up the World:
Jazz Ambassadors Play the Cold War
Rebecca M. Schreiber is assistant professor of American studies at
the University of New Mexico.
