Reflecting the burgeoning academic interest in issues of nation, race, gender, sexuality, and other axes of identity, Multiculturalism, Postcoloniality, and Transnational Media brings all of these concerns under the same umbrella, contending that these issues must be discussed in relation to each other. Communities, societies, nations, and even entire continents, the book suggests, exist not autonomously but rather in a densely woven web of connectedness.

Uncanny Histories in Film and Media probes the uncanny as a mode of historical analysis. Whether writing about film movements, individual works, or the legacies of major or forgotten critics and theorists, the contributors challenge our inherited narratives to reveal a disturbance of what was once familiar in the histories of our field.
