Cinematography
Edited by Patrick Keating
Rutgers University Press
The first book to provide a comprehensive chronicle of the art of cinematography, from the 1890s to the present day, this collection introduces readers to the people behind the camera, the roles they play, the equipment they use, and the indelible images they have created. Including over 50 film stills, Cinematography vividly illustrates how the cinematographer’s art has evolved in tandem with major technological and economic shifts in the film industry.
Hollywood at the Intersection of Race and Identity
Edited by Delia Malia Caparoso Konzett
Rutgers University Press
This collection of essays examines intersectional identities of race/ethnicity, gender/sexuality, class, and nationality in Hollywood cinema. Intersectionality, traditionally associated with social activism, is used here more liberally as a critical and analytic tool to explore films, expressing multiple points of views and multiple ways of looking at films.

Sociology on Film
Postwar Hollywood's Prestige Commodity
By Chris Cagle
Rutgers University Press
After World War II, Hollywood’s “social problem films”—tackling topical issues that included racism, crime, mental illness, and drug abuse—were hits with critics and general moviegoers alike. Sociology on Film considers the postwar “problem film” as a form of popular sociology, translating contemporary policy debates and intellectual discussions into cinematic form. Examining the politics and aesthetics of films like Gentleman’s Agreement and The Lost Weekend, Chris Cagle explores how the genre both shaped and reflected the middle-class audience’s views of society.
