Reviews

Cheema and Van de Peer expertly illuminate Annemarie Jacir's engagement with the complexity of the Palestinian experience as it traverses questions of memory, space and the transnational. The book pays homage to Jacir's cinematic contribution as film editor, writer, producer and facilitator and perceptively traces the struggles and pleasures involved in the creation of a committed and aesthetically ambitious Palestinian cinema.--Anastasia Valassopoulos, University of Manchester This is a well-documented study which offers an intimate vision of the evolution of Jacir's film oeuvre, and how Palestinian cinema and audio-visual practices can become acts of resistance exposing the incongruous cultural memories of diverse Palestinian generations and their struggles for the homeland, freedom, and transnational identity in exile.--Ihab Saloul, Author of Catastrophe and Exile in the Modern Palestinian Imagination: Telling Memories
