Reviews for Destabilizing the Hollywood Musical
'Through her focus on a specific subset of musicals - integrated musicals from 1966-1983 - and shifting representations of masculinity within these films, Kessler provides readers with an engaging and accessible snapshot of the ways in which cultural conditions and anxieties find expression onscreen, often altering the very medium with which they engage.' -Scope
