[Yoshie Furuhashi <furuhashi.1@xxxxxxx>]

Critical Perspectives on Wars, Classes, & Empires

Screening: _BURN!_
(Dir. Gillo Pontecorvo, 1969)

William Walker (played by Marlon Brando), a British agent
provocateur, arrives at the Caribbean island of Queimada -- a
lucrative sugar-producing colony of Portugal (so named after the
island was burned down to quell a slave revolt) -- to incite a
nationalist revolution, only to have England replace Portugal as new
neo-colonial master.  Used and betrayed by Walker, former slaves, led
by Jose Dolores, rise up against the comprador regime installed by
the British.  Queimada will burn?again.
