ration Cinema in the New Europe examines a variety of films from the early 0s that depict and address the lives and identities of both first-generation rants and children of the diaspora in Europe. Whether they are authored by grants themselves or by white Europeans who use the resources and means roduction of dominant cinema to politically engage with the immigrants’ aments, these films, Isolina Ballesteros shows, are unmappable—a condition g from immigration cinema’s re-combination and deliberate blurring of filmic ons pertaining to two or more genres. In an age of globalization and increased tion, this book theorizes immigration cinema in relation to notions such as hybridity, transculturation, border crossing, transnationalism, and translation.
