Irmgard Emmelhainz is the author of Jean-Luc Godard's Political Filmmaking.

"Finally available in English, Irmgard Emmelhainz's The Tyranny of Common Sense: Mexico's Post-Neoliberal Conversion is a tour-de-force that seeks to interrogate the extent to which the neoliberal philosophy has infiltrated the Mexican psyche." — Hispanófila"A major contribution to the field. Emmelhainz has an uncanny ability to integrate a broad swath of sources and weave together complicated topics to create a coherent and engaging narrative. By incorporating both recent history and various cultural phenomena into her analysis, she has written a book that is exceedingly relevant and urgent—one that reveals original and crucially important ways to look at contemporary Mexico and its version of neoliberalism." — Amanda L. Petersen, coeditor of Espectros: Ghostly Hauntings in Contemporary Transhispanic Narratives
