Arab Animation

Reviews / Votes

This work is encyclopaedic in ambition and scope. Its coverage includes details of the production background and texts of scores of animations, organised coherently according to the author's framework of national, pan-Arab, Islamic, 'revolutionary' and global identities and researched through painstaking and resourceful seeking out and sifting of a wide range of archives and sources, including interviews. -- Naomi Sakr, Professor of Media Policy, University of Westminster Dr. Sayfo has worked with the best scholars in the field, and has done such a large amount of groundwork through interviews and fieldwork, that I am convinced this book will serve as one of the benchmarks for research on Arab animation in years to come. This excellent book combines critical analysis of existing scholarship with original research that has not been accessed or unlocked previously. -- Professor Stefanie Van de Peer, Lecturer in Film and Media, Queen Margaret University
