Reviews / Votes
A double lens on Israeli and Palestinian film, 2 distinctive yet enmeshed sets of films addressing contemporary connundra of gender, sexuality, and identity in a desperate, yet vital world inhabited so differently by both, yet with similar anxieties and to a degree, aspirations. The book begins with a superb introduction by the pair of editors, one Israeli the other Palestinian, and is followed by trenchant and interesting studies by top scholars. This book is a must for anyone wishing to decipher the complex double reality of Israel/Palestine. * Daniel Herwitz, Frederick G. L. Huetwell Professor, Comparative Literature, Philosophy and History of Art, University of Michigan, USA * Without losing sight of the 'inherent asymmetry of power dynamics,' Reel Gender projects the entanglement of Palestine/Israel for us to see. Against the backdrop of settler colonialism and through the lens of gender which puts power and inequality in focus, Atshan and Galor bravely invite their contributors and readers to a difficult and necessary conversation about the making of fiction and reality. * Huda J. Fakhreddine, Associate Professor of Arabic Literature, University of Pennsylvania, USA *More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
