Francis M. Nevins Knihy

    Francis Nevins majstrovsky spája svet faktov a fikcie, najmä v oblasti práva a spravodlivosti, ako je zobrazovaná v populárnej kultúre. Jeho seminár o „právu, právnikoch a spravodlivosti v populárnej fikcii a filme“ bol priekopnícky a inšpiroval podobné kurzy po celom svete. Ako odborník na dedičské právo a autorské právo skúmal právne problémy, ktoré vznikajú po smrti autora, a dokonca zaviedol termín „will bumping“ na opis toho, ako autorský zákon môže zneplatniť autorovu poslednú vôľu. Okrem svojej akademickej činnosti je Nevins tiež oceneným autorom detektívnych príbehov, pričom sa nechal inšpirovať svojim mentorom Fredericom Dannayom, známym ako Ellery Queen.

      American Hero, Hispanic Roots

      The Cisco Kid: American Hero, Hispanic Roots expands on Francis Nevins's 1998 book, The Films of The Cisco Kid. Retaining the original's thorough, chronologically ordered study of the filmic Cisco Kid cycle and its in-depth analysis of the Cisco phenomenon, The Cisco Kid adds a Hispanic sensibility to the history of the character in United States film. Despite the Cisco Kid's initial creation outside the Hispanic world by such mainstream writers and filmmakers as O. Henry and Webster Cullison, by 1929 with the first Cisco sound film, In Old Arizona, this fictional character was endowed with a Latino persona that it has invariably retained both in mainstream American culture and in Hispanic culture within the United States and elsewhere. Including film stills, lobby cards, and posters, this lavishly illustrated coffee-table book is sure to delight anyone interested in the Cisco Kid.
