- Summary:
- Praise for John Bodnar's "Blue-Collar Hollywood -- ""An uncommonly well balanced account of the political biases of American movies... A fine read for the generalist yet a scholarly achievement." "--Choice -- ""You cannot but be seduced and even sometimes bedazzled by Bodnar's clear, well-informed and impartial analysis."-- "Cercles" -- "Bodnar provides a useful provocation. He asks us to think imaginatively about the subtle and complex ways movies communicate ideas and attitudes."-- "Journal of American History" -- "Open minded and even handed, he appreciates the nuances and mixed messages of Hollywood cinema."-- "American Historical Review"
