The Films of Mira Nair: Diaspora Verite presents the first, full-length scholarly study of her cinema. Mira Nair has broken new ground as both a feminist filmmaker and an Indian filmmaker. Several of her works, especially those related to the South Asian diaspora, have been influential around the globe. Amardeep Singh delves into the complexities of Nair's films from 1981 to 2016, offering critical commentary on all of Nair's major works, including her early documentary projects as well as shorts. The subtitle, ""diaspora verite,"" alludes to Singh's primary theme: Nair's filmmaking project is driven aesthetically by her background in the documentary realist tradition (cinema verite) and thematically by her interest in the lives of migrants and diasporic populations. Mainly, Nair's filmmaking intends to document imaginatively the experiences of diasporic communities. Nair's focus on the diasporic appears in the long list of her films that have explored the subject, such as Mississippi Masala, So Far from India, Monsoon Wedding, The Perez Family, My Own Country, The Namesake, and The Reluctant Fundamentalist. However, a version of the diasporic sensibility also emerges even in films with an apparently different scope, such as Nair's adaptation of Thackeray's Vanity Fair. Nair began her career as a documentary filmmaker in the early 1980s. While Nair now has largely moved away from the documentary format in favor of making fictional feature films, Singh shows that a documentary realist style remains active in her subsequent fictional cinema.

The ultimate guide to learn software architecture patterns, microservices and create release pipeline to rapidly deliver microservices using CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, CodePipeline Key Features * Learn software architecture and microservices design patterns from an AWS certified professional architect * Develop microservice using spring boot and automate the release using CodePipeline * Master the deployment of microservices using CodeDeploy to EC2 instances, containers and OnPrem Book Description It is the need of the hour to have reliable automation in place for any code changes to go to production. Having a release pipeline enables you to effectively and timely deliver features for your users. AWS CodePipeline, with its powerful integration and automation of building, testing, and deployment presents a unique solution to several software delivery issues like outage during deployment, lack of standard delivery mechanism and obstcales in creating sustainable pipelines. You will start by developing a java microservice and using AWS Services like CodeCommit, CodeArtifact and CodeGuru to manage and review the source code. You will then start building the code using AWS CodeBuild service and learn how to deploy it to AWS infrastructure and container services using the CodeDeploy Service. Further on, you will provision cloud infrastructure using CloudFormation templates and Terraform. In the end, you will combine all of these AWS Services together to form a CodePipeline to deliver the microservices in a reliable and automated way from source code check-in to deployment without any downtime. You will wrap up with solutions on integrating AWS CodePipeline with third-party services like GitHub or with a custom plugin. By the end of this book the readers will practically be able to build release pipelines for their applications. What you will learn * Understanding Continuous integration and delivery with AWS * Automated infrastructure provisioning with CloudFormation and Terraform * Manage source code using AWS CodeCommit * Automate code reviews and profiling using CodeGuru * Build software package using AWS CodeBuild service * Deploy microservices to AWS container services using CodeDeploy * Automate serverless deployment of Lambda functions * Tips to extend CodePipelines beyond AWS cloud Who This Book Is For This book is for Software Architects, DevOps engineers, SREs, and Cloud engineers who want to learn more about automating their release pipelines for modifying features and releasing updates. Some knowledge on AWS cloud, Java, Maven, and Git will come in handy to get most out of this book.
