Struggles for Recognition traces the emergence of melodrama in Latin American silent film and silent film culture. Juan SebastiA¡n Ospina LeA3n draws on extensive archival research to revealA how melodrama visualized and shaped the social arena of urban modernity in early twentieth-century Latin America. Analyzing sociocultural contexts through film, this book demonstrates the ways in which melodrama was mobilized for both liberal and illiberal ends, revealing or concealing social inequities from Buenos Aires to BogotA¡ to Los Angeles. Ospina LeA3n critically engages Euro-American and Latin American scholarship seldom put into dialogue, offering an innovative theorization of melodrama relevant to scholars working within and across different national contexts.
