Beschreibung
This book offers a much-needed focus on Palestine solidarity films, supplying a critical theoretical framework whose intellectual thrust is rooted in the challenges facing scholars censored for attempting to rectify and reverse the silencing of a subject matter about which much of the world would remain uninformed without cinematic and televisual mediation. Its innovative focus on Palestine solidarity films spans a selected array of works which began to emerge during the 1970s, made by directors located outside Palestine/Israel who professed support for Palestinian liberation. Visualizing the Palestinian Struggle analyzes Palestinian solidarity films hailing from countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Iran, Palestine/Israel, Mexico, and the United States. Visualizing the Palestinian Struggle is an effort to insist, constructively, upon a rectification and reversal of the glaring and disproportionate minimization and distortion of discourse critical of Zionism and Israeli policy in the cinematic and televisual public sphere.
Creates a theory of solidarity film applicable to and beyond the Palestinian case Offers new points of analysis on the Palestinian–Israeli conflict and its political spectrum from film studies, cultural studies, and political studies lenses alike Includes allegorical “interludes” focusing on films made by Palestinians themselves in Palestine

“Visualizing Palestine is a groundbreaking resource on films of Palestine solidarity. The book presents a valuable teaching tool at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It would make essential reading for the study of Palestine cinema for its simultaneous analysis of marginal films and their critique of the hegemonic systems that silence them. To use any part of this book would be an affirmative act of solidarity.” (Samirah Alkassim, Arab Studies Quarterly, Vol. 43 (2), 2021)
