Death on the Run, edited by Luisa L. Corna and John Cunningham, compiles essays that examine the intersection of cinema and politics in Spaghetti and other Westerns. In doing so, this popular genre of cinema becomes a resource that reveals questions around political violence, nihilism, gender, Leftist politics and aesthetics that continue to inform the present. Death on the Run is part of the Sasha Editions, a series, published by Archive Books(Berlin), that intends to critically analyse contemporary culture in terms of how cinema, art and literature might express – or not express – the horrors and possibilities of the present day.
