This collection investigates how postcolonial theory intersects with cinematic production, distribution, and aesthetics to challenge traditional narratives of empire and globalization. Editors Sandra Ponzanesi and Marguerite Waller assemble a diverse group of scholars to examine how films from various regions—including Italy, Indochina, and the Lusophone world—negotiate the legacies of colonialism. The text argues that cinema serves as a critical site for deconstructing historical memory and addressing the ongoing complexities of the postcolonial condition.
What You Will Find
