working-class cinema  

Definition(s)

  • Working-class history on film in the United States begins in the early 20th century in silent films and continues to this day in Hollywood blockbusters. There are specific characterizations of the working class, and discernable representations often mimicking the periodic political interests of American capitalism, in particular, in this long history.
