An ethnographic study based on decades of field research, Pilgrimage to Broken Mountain explores five sacred journeys to the peaks of venerated mountains undertaken by Nahua people living in northern Veracruz, Mexico. Punctuated with elaborate ritual offerings dedicated to the forces responsible for rain, seeds, crop fertility, and the well-being of all people, these pilgrimages are the highest and most elaborate form of Nahua devotion and reveal a sophisticated religious philosophy that places human beings in intimate contact with what Westerners call the forces of nature.

В этой книге впервые проанализировано, как на протяжении восьми десятилетий истории американского кино возникал на экранах США образ человека труда, рабочего. Автор рассматривает целый ряд фильмов - от "Нетерпимости" Гриффита, "Гроздьев гнева" Дж. Форда, "Соли земли" Г. Бибермана до картин последнего времени - "Норма-Рэй" М. Ритта, "Синий воротничок" П. Шрэйдера, "Кулак" Н. Джуисона и др. Опираясь на ленинскую теорию двух культур, прослеживает пути борьбы прогрессивного кинематографа США с буржуазно-апологетическим направлением голливудского кино, борьбы за рабочего зрителя, за идеи пролетарского единства. Рассчитана на специалистов-киноведов и читателей, интересующихся кино.
