Description
Gaspar González and...
The Manchurian Candidate
(John Frankenheimer/1962)
With Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Angela Lansbury, Janet Leigh
What Have They Built You to Do?... The Manchurian Candidate and Cold War America
is a new book by Matthew Frye Jacobson and Gaspar González, which reassesses the landmark Cold War film, from Kennedy to Reagan to Halliburton. Considered by many to be the best political thriller ever made,
The Manchurian Candidate
is as entertaining, troubling, and relevant today as it was in 1962.
In
What Have They Built You to Do?
Jacobson and González undertake an ambitious reexamination of
The Manchurian Candidate
, the 1959 novel on which it was based, and—critically analyzed here for the first time—the 2004 remake directed by Jonathan Demme. Through their multifaceted analysis of the film and the culture that produced it, Jacobson and González raise provocative questions about power and anxiety in American politics and society from the Cold War to today.
Gaspar González is an independent scholar and journalist in Miami.
He has taught American studies at Yale University
and film studies at the University of Miami.
Matthew Frye Jacobson teaches American studies at Yale University.
His books include Roots Too: White Ethnic Revival in Post–Civil Rights America.
Co-author Gaspar González will introduce the film
and followup with a Q&A on both the film and the new book.
Autographed copies of the book will be available for sale!
