Beschreibung
'This brilliant edited volume provides a necessary critique and update to mainstream war films that have systematically erased women and minorities from their narratives. With chapters on Indian soldiers at Dunkirk, varying and complex portrayals of women in combat, indigenous soldiers, depictions of homosexuality, representations of terrorism, and much more, New Perspectives on the War Film brings together innovative research highlighting not just the changing nature of the war film, but war itself.'
— Brian E. Crim, John M. Turner Distinguished Chair in the Humanities, University of Lynchburg, USA

“In this provocative volume, the authors urge a critical re-evaluation of the war film by highlighting the range of stories it recounts—as well as those it ignores—and the diversity of subjects it brings into focus. The collection encourages a renewed engagement with the genre through attention to perspectives and experiences often imagined to fall outside the frames of war and to conflicts that exceed the conflation of war with state-sponsored combat. In pushing past conventional conceptions of the war film, the book makes a timely and important intervention into our understanding of the complexities of violence both on the screen and beyond it.” (Jonna Eagle, Associate Professor of Film/Media, Department of American Studies, University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA)
