COLD WAR EXILES IN MEXICO: U.S. Dissidents and the Culture of Critical Resistance Rebecca M. Schreiber University of Minnesota Press | 336 pages | 2008 ISBN 978-0-8166-4307-3 | hardcover | $67.50 ISBN 978-0-8166-4308-0 | paperback | $22.50 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.
