A Feminist Counter-History of Latin American Documentary

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"A remarkable piece of cultural archaeology which recovers what should never have been buried - the history of women's documentary in Latin America since the 1970s."-Michael Chanan, Professor Emeritus of Film & Video, University of Roehampton.

"Cervera rewrites Latin American documentary history in this lucid work of decolonial scholarship. In the process she takes a wide swath of feminist film scholarship and reformulates it in exciting new ways."-Julia Lesage, Editor, Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media.

"This is a massive contribution to feminist efforts to reimagine Latin American cinema history. Cervera crafts a rich and colorful tapestry of courageous women filming under revolution, dictatorship, and exile, whose efforts are only now starting to get the attention they have always deserved. A wonderful introduction to the Latin American women directors and the feminist collectives who shaped and intervened in many of the crucial debates of their time, which also remain remarkably current today."-Elizabeth Ramirez-Soto, Associate Professor of Film, Columbia University.
