Genre, Gender, Race, and World Cinema (Blackwell’s Publishing, 2006) is an original collection of essays that introduces the study of film theory through contemporary issues. Using topics of genre, gender and race, this book encourages critical discussion; combining formal, historical, cultural and theoretical approaches to the study of world cinema.

United by the overarching theme of identity, this book analyzes how film represents and influences individual and societal constructs of self. Organized thematically, the volume introduces important concepts in film studies, while giving exemplary analyses of important films from American, Asian, European and African cinema. Introductions to each section map the themes and histories of each topic, raising theoretical issues specific to each.
