Martin Scorsese’s Documentary Histories: Migrations, Movies, Music is the first comprehensive study of Martin Scorsese’s prolific work as a documentary filmmaker. Highlighting the historiographic aims of the director’s various non-fiction film, video, and television productions, Mike Meneghetti re-examines Scorsese’s documentaries as resourceful audiovisual histories of migrations, movies, and popular music. Italianamerican’s critical immersion in the post-Sixties ethnic revival inaugurates Scorsese’s decades-long documentary project in 1974, and the era’s developing vernacular of reclamation would shape each of his subsequent non-fiction efforts. Martin Scorsese's Documentary Histories surveys the succeeding films’ decisive adherence to this language of retrieval. With extended analyses of Italianamerican, American Boy: A Profile of Steven Prince, The Last Waltz, Shine a Light, Feel Like Going Home, No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, Il mio viaggio in Italia, and A Letter to Elia among others, Meneghetti resituates Scorsese’s filmmaking within the wider contexts of documentary history and American culture.

Mike Meneghetti is a Sessional Lecturer at the University of Toronto, Canada. His work has been published in Studies in Documentary Film, New Review of Film and Television Studies, Canadian Journal of Film Studies, and Film-Philosophy.
