Smartly pushing beyond the critical models that have long been associated with surveillance in and outside of cinema, Zimmer makes a persuasive case for examining surveillance within historical and political contexts. An excellent book, both far-reaching and convincing in its claims, Surveillance Cinemais sure to become one of the central works in the emerging field of surveillance studies. -Aviva Briefel, co-editor of Horror after 9/11: World of Fear, Cinema of Terror Author InformationCatherine Zimmer is an Associate Professor of Film and Screen Studies and English at Pace University in New York City.
