*New Book: * *Screening the Red Army Faction: Historical and Cultural Memory. * *Screening the Red Army Faction: Historical and Cultural Memory* explores representations of the Red Army Faction (RAF) in print media, film and art, locating an analysis of these texts in the historical and political context of unfolding events. Weaving together the history and cultural history of post-fascist era West Germany, the book grapples with the fledgling republic's most pivotal debates about the nature of democracy and authority; about violence, its motivations and regulation; and about its cultural afterlife. Looking back at the history of representations of the RAF in various media, *Screening the Red Army Faction* considers how our understanding of the Cold War era, of the long sixties and of the RAF is created and re-created through cultural texts.

Most impressively, the book avoids both reductive caricatures and romantic celebrations of the RAF, instead grounding their actions and legacy in a broad international and historical context.” Published: July 12, 2018.

"Insisting on the centrality of anticolonial struggles and international solidarities to the category of world cinema, this volume makes a welcome intervention into scholarship on political cinema. The editors have gathered an impressive range of essays which open out the histories and aesthetics of 1968 in genuinely exciting ways." Rosalind Galt, Professor of Film Studies, King's College London "This timely, informative and stimulating set of essays is designed to deepen our understanding of 1968 as a watershed in cinematic aesthetics and global activist politics. An impressive collective accomplishment."
