Garcia examines one of the unsung influences on the Hollywood musical--the lower budget folk musicals produced by Mexican, Yiddish, and African-American filmmakers. Far from mere escapist entertainments, these films expressed both the struggles and dreams of immigrants and minorities in America. Offering a revised history of the American musical, The Migration of Musical Film provides a window into the ways in which Americans and immigrants have negotiated the boundaries of belonging in our society.
