Joshua Lund offers the first systematic interpretation of Werner Herzog''s Americas-themed works, illuminating the director''s career as a political filmmaker-a label Herzog himself rejects. Lund draws on materialist and post-colonial approaches to argue that Herzog''s American work confronts us with the circulation, distribution, accumulation, application, and negotiation of power that resides, quietly, at the center of his films. By operating beyond conventional ideological categories, Herzog renders political ideas in radically unfamiliar ways while fearlessly confronting his viewers with questions of world-historical significance. His maddeningly opaque viewpoint challenges us to rethink discovery and conquest, migration and exploitation, resource extraction, slavery, and other foundational traumas of the contemporary human condition.
