Description: 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.
