"This is the first book about how migration has been represented in Lusophone cinema in the last decades. Rêgo and Brasileiro have moved beyond the mere confines of the field of film studies and enriched the text with thought-provoking essays written by academics from several disciplines. The result is a fascinating volume containing essays that inquire deeply about issues involving identity, immigration, transnationalism, and the meaning of 'home' in an increasingly complex world." - Eva Paulino Bueno, Professor of Spanish and Portuguese, St. Mary's University, USA
"This important volume breaks fresh ground, not only by being the first detailed study of migration in films of the Portuguese-speaking world, but also by showing a healthy disregard for the constraints of disciplinary boundaries. It offers a valuable and timely critique of cinematic representations of the migratory experience that is informed and nuanced by a variety of scholarly perspectives and approaches." - Lisa Shaw, Reader in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies, University of Liverpool, UK
"The visual power of film, as film circulates globally, provides an excellent opportunity for viewers to obtain a more nuanced understanding of a society. The Portuguese films examined here reveal the conflicted ways in which a long-closed country like Portugal has been impacted by foreign immigration. And while many know Brazil to be a country of immigrants, the films examined here show the effect of socially and economically driven out-migration. The highly affective nature of film, as presented in these high-quality essays, shows how much more complicated the demographics of Brazil and Portugal are than foreign viewers may have thought." - David William Foster, Regents Professor of Portuguese and Spanish, Arizona State University, USA
With more than 250 million speakers globally, the Lusophone world has a rich history of filmmaking. This edited volume explores the representation of the migratory experience in contemporary cinema from Portuguese-speaking countries, exploring how Lusophone films, filmmakers, producers, studios, and governments relay narratives of migration.
