Postmodern Paletos: Immigration, Democracy, and Globalization in Spanish Narrative and Film, 1950-2000

Postmodern Paletos traces a history of the representation and construction of the figure of the immigrant and of the city/country dynamic in Spanish narrative and film from 1950 to 2000. It concentrates in particular on Franco’s uses of these images to promote his politics and then on the deconstruction of these uses.
