ORAL HISTORY AS POLITICAL RESISTANCE: Posse and Once Upon a Time in Mexico by Adam Wadenius

“…He points to a resurgence of films from the 1990’s that, in an era of multi-culturalism, hybridity, and counter-strategies, have functioned to redefine the codes of the traditional Western, bringing to life the postmodern Western.
