Postcolonial Film: History, Empire, Resistance examines films of the later twentieth and early twenty-first centuries from postcolonial countries around the globe. "This volume of essays brilliantly creates the groundwork for a truly international discussion. Film and its centrality to the ongoing colonial and postcolonial debates in and between countries across the globe is its focus. The many scholarly and accessible essays here will open readers' eyes to the truly global reach of film, and to the urgency of creating equitable postcolonial cultures." - Lyn McCredden, Deakin University, Australia "This collection of essays engages with traditional discourses in postcolonial studies in the light of recent developments pertaining to globalization, a post-9/11 security planet, Islamic terrorism, infra-nationalisms, and intense nomadism of populations. It is long awaited." - Anustup Basu, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
