Recenzii
Refreshingly utopian in its aims but never naive, Screening Solidarity travels the globe to show that the liberatory possibilities promised by early cinema were never entirely abandoned; in their critique of hegemonic neoliberalism, the films discussed in this book remind us always to look for an alternative.
This book explores narratives of solidaristic resistance to the pressures of neoliberal capitalism. The project is urgent and topical, as neoliberal capitalism is a defining feature of today's world that is furthering many global problems including wealth disparity, climate change, disease, and war.
