"""A significant contribution to postcolonial scholarship, trauma studies, and cinema studies, Rastegar's book is likely to become a major text in the field. Highly recommended."" --CHOICE ""While providing an expansive framework to read trauma production in twentieth-century cinema of the Middle East, Surviving Images looks to the future by pointing to the emergence of a new era of trauma production, one that will enchant us yet destabilize the very foundation of cinematic practices."" --Humanities and Social Sciences Online"
