Postcolonial Cinema Studies 

Now Available in Paperback

Edited by Sandra Ponzanesi and Marguerite Waller

This collection of essays foregrounds the work of filmmakers in
theorizing and comparing postcolonial conditions, recasting debates in
both cinema and postcolonial studies. Postcolonial cinema is presented,
not as a rigid category, but as an optic through which to address
questions of postcolonial historiography, geography, subjectivity, and
epistemology.

Current circumstances of migration and immigration, militarization,
economic exploitation, racial and religious conflict, enactments of
citizenship, and cultural self-representation have deep roots in
colonial/postcolonial/neocolonial histories. Contributors deeply engage
the tense asymmetries bequeathed to the contemporary world by the
multiple, diverse, and overlapping histories of European, Soviet, U.S.,
and multi-national imperial ventures. With interdisciplinary expertise,
they discover and explore the conceptual temporalities and spatialities
of postcoloniality, with an emphasis on the politics of form, the
'postcolonial aesthetics' through which filmmakers challenge themselves
and their viewers to move beyond national and imperial imaginaries.
