Bøger af Camilla Fojas

Examining a broad range of pop culture media-film, television, journalism, advertisements, travel writing, and literature-Fojas explores the United States as an empire and how it has narrated its relationship to its island territories.

An examination of how major Hollywood films exploit the border between Mexico and the United States to tell a story about U.S. dominance in the Western hemisphere.

Fojas engages the work of Enrique Gomez Carrillo, the travel writings of Aurelia Castillo de Gonzalez, and Rodo's Ariel, which share a common principle of the practical application of cosmopolitanism. They sometimes conceptualize models of hospitality and sometimes fail, but keep the broken promise of utopist spaces and their imagined cities.
