The BFI "Companion to Eastern European and Russian Cinema" is an
invaluable map to the rich and varied cinema of Eastern Europe,
Russia, and the former U.S.S.R. Over two hundred entries cover a
variety of topics spanning a whole century of varied endeavor and
turbulent history from Czech animation to Soviet montage, from the
silent cinemas dating back to World War I through to the varied
responses to the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia. The recent
work includes entries on actors and actresses, film festivals,
studios, genres, directors, film movements, critics, producers, and
technicians, taking the coverage up to the late 1990s.
In addition to the wealth of historical material on key figures
like Eisenstein and Wadja, the editors provide separate accounts of
the trajectory of the cinemas of Eastern Europe and of Russia in
the wake of the collapse of communism.
This title explores the close and vital relationship between the contemporary media and immigration. Drawing on newspapers, magazines, film, television and photography, the contributors examine the effects of mass media on migration behaviour and ethnic identity. Using examples from a range of countries, Media and Migration illustrates how the media intervenes to affect the reception migrants receive, how it stimulates prospective migrants to move and how it plays a dynamic role in the cultural politics and cultural identity of diasporic communities. eBook available with sample pages: 0203458540
In the New Mexico village of Camposanto, a priest is tied to a
cross made from a sacred cottonwood tree. Father Lorenzo Soledad's
adversaries, the impoverished tribe called the Calabazas, observe
from below, and Juan Lobo, the head man of the Calabazas, sings the
Song of Passage, preparing the priest for his journey by rubbing a
white powder across his brow. It's a chilly April Friday in 1897.
In two days it will be Easter, but for Soledad there will be no
resurrection.
Is Soledad a martyr? A saint? A suicide? This gripping novel by
a New Mexico writer who has spent a lifetime pondering the
complicated cultures of the Southwest tells Soledad's story from
his boyhood in a Texas bordello to his final day in the Sangre de
Cristo Mountains.
In this collection of true stories, Nancy Wilbur Woods describes

The topic of memory has shot to prominence in recent years,
engaging the attention of academics and a wider public alike. This
is partly due to a spate of anniversaries and commemorations of
events, such as the Holocaust and the Second World War, whose
significance for the present is affirmed even as their meanings
continue to be debated. In Germany and France, contested memories,
representations and commemorations of this period have become
virtually a defining feature of their respective political
cultures. Equally contested are France's memories of a
decolonization process whose legacy still makes its presence felt
in the political landscape. This book uses the concept of 'vectors'
of memory to designate the conduits of that memorial activity, and
examines in detail a range of vectors - historiography, war crimes
trials, novels and films - that have focused public attention and
debate in this era of so-called 'commemorative obsession'. More
than a descriptive summary of such developments, the author
elucidates the identity politics that is being expressed through
these channels. In the course of these investigations, concepts
such as 'sites of memory', 'testimony', and 'trauma' - much invoked
in recent work on 'collective memory' - are critically examined in
a number of historical, juridical and representational contexts.
Interdisciplinary in its scope and in the manner in which it
bridges historiographical and cultural analysis, this book will
appeal to students and scholars of history, cultural and media
studies, French and German political culture, Holocaust studies and
postcolonialism.

Due to its potent mix of triumph and controversy, the Liberation of
France from Nazi Occupation continues to reverberate in the
post-war politics and culture of France.
Presenting new research by leading specialists in the fields of
history, literature and film studies, this stimulating volume is
the very best in interdisciplinary scholarship and will define the
subject for years to come. It situates the Liberation in the
broadest possible context of image and event and incorporates
subtle layers of ambiguity. Gender issues are given prominence and
the challenging task of examining the ideas and reality of
liberation for French people lends the book its originality and
purpose.

More than thirty years ago and armed with little more than a camera
and a vision, Western writer and photographer Nancy Wood set out in
a battered Subaru to capture a vanishing part of the American West.
Focusing on the Grass Roots People of Colorado, the Utes, Taos
Pueblo, and homesteaders of Pie Town, New Mexico, Wood devoted
nearly twenty years to cataloguing the lives of the rural
inhabitants. The result is in an intimate portrait achieved through
Wood's long associations with each subject.
"Eye of the West" covers Wood's photographic career and pays
tribute to the ideas and techniques she acquired from her mentor
Roy Stryker, director of the Farm Security Administration
Historical Section. These multiyear perspectives are a rare glimpse
into a forgotten past and a unique part of the history of the
American West.
