Reviews

This book will have significant impact in film and media studies because Kaplan so skillfully 'translates' the most interesting work done in trauma studies and takes it in new and original directions. It is illuminating, lucid, and persuasive. - Patrice Petro, author of Aftershocks of the New: Feminism and Film History
