Reviews

'This book opens a new archive in which to investigate how creative and transformative acts of citizenship are performed. Through rich interpretations of carefully selected films Radovic constitutes filmmakers as activist citizens and the film as a site of activism. It is a genuine pleasure 'seeing' these films in a whole new way where scenes of making rights claims come alive. It is a splendid performance itself.' Engin Isin, Professor in International Politics, Queen Mary University of London and University of London Institute in Paris 'The book is intellectually lively, well grounded in theory, and balanced with approachable and methodologically sound case studies.' Diana Murtaugh Coleman in Reading Religion
