Reviews / Votes
"Isuma: Inuit Video Art should be required reading for anyone studying folklore and media and especially Indigenous media." Joanna Hearne, University of Missouri-Columbia "Capturing a pivotal moment in Inuit/Canadian/film history, Isuma: Inuit Video Art is one of the most accomplished books I have read in a long time. There is a richness in detail in both the interviews and the author's reflections on them ... Cleary, Evan "The author's presentation of valuable interview material with videographers in different groups with diverging goals and interests makes this work especially important." Marian Bredin, communications, popular culture and film, Brock UniversityMore details
