Hollywood Melodrama and the New Deal: Public Daydreams - Routledge Advances in Film Studies
Siomopoulos, Anna (Bentley University, USA)
This book argues that Hollywood melodramas of the Depression era engaged the political ideas underlying the welfare state policies of the New Deal. These ideas expanded the boundaries of the public realm and the purview of the government, such as liberal empathy, consumer citizenship, the refeudalization of the state, and minimal economic redistribution.
