This collection of essays offers a pioneering analysis of the
political and conceptual complexities of teaching transnational
cinema in university classrooms around the world. In their
exploration of a wide range of films from different national and
regional contexts, contributors reflect on the practical and
pedagogical challenges of teaching about immigrant identities,
transnational encounters, foreignness, cosmopolitanism and
citizenship, terrorism, border politics, legality and race.
Probing the value of cinema in interdisciplinary academic study
and the changing strategies and philosophies of teaching in the
university, this volume positions itself at the cutting edge of
transnational film studies.
