'Engaged scholarship at its best - at once three deeply sensitive and extensive explorations of British East and Southeast Asian films and a powerful intervention that inscribes British ESEA culture as a structure of feeling to push back against the racist violence that followed the Covid-19 pandemic.' Chris Berry, Professor at King's College London 'Through an insightful analysis of three films -She, a Chinese; The Receptionist and Lilting- Leung Wing-Fai makes an important case for British East and Southeast Asian cinema as a significant emerging film and cultural movement. She deftly demonstrates how through an accented cinema that makes visible a range of migratory perspectives from China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Cambodia, filmmakers are powerfully carving out an alternative and contrapuntal creative space.' Dr Diana Yeh, City, University of London
