Jocelyn Szczepaniak-Gillece examines how the parallel trajectories of these two enduring  aspects of American culture, linked by their ability to influence individual and collective consciousness, resulted in them being treated and regulated in similar ways. Rather than looking at representations of drug use within film, she regards cinema and intoxicants as kindred experiences of immersion that have been subject to corresponding forces of ideology and power. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCombining archival research, ethnographic observation and interviews, text analysis, and visual analysis of film, video, and multimedia, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eMainstreaming Palestine\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e encourages readers to critically assess the relationship between the politics of liberation and the all-consuming engine of contemporary capitalism.
