Infos

1. This book stands out as unique in both its subject and approach. There are only a handful of books on post-1980 Italian cinema, and none that perform close analyses of those works. The author's approach challenges the prevalent wisdom - that there is no significant Italian cinema after Fellini - by weaving together conversations on numerous significant issues including primarily: transnationalism, race, and gender.

2. Migrant Anxieties uses Italian films from the past 30 years to explore anxieties and concerns regarding migration and borderscapes. The topic is highly relevant to current global concerns regarding immigration and nationalism.

3. This book demonstrates the adaptability of cinematic language and film genres as a way to explore a changing social landscape. It carefully shows the links between current anxieties and unresolved issues from Italy's past, particularly its history of emigration and colonization.

4. The author is a well-known and highly respected scholar of Italian cinema.

During a period of heightened global concerns about the movement of immigrants and refugees across borders, Migrant Anxieties explores how filmmakers in Italy have probed the tensions accompanying the country's shift from an emigrant nation to a destination point for over five million immigrants over the course of three decades.
