Afterword References About the AuthorsReviewsAnalyzing popular motion pictures with depth and care, Ishani Mukherjee and Maggie Griffith Williams move between different national cinemas to highlight films that can be helpful in fostering intercultural communication. In Migration, Mobility, and Sojourning in Cross-Cultural Films: Interculturing Cinema, Mukherjee and Williams offer sharp case studies that demonstrate how people's mobility today is impacted by racism, the immigration industrial complex, multinational capitalism, and settler colonialism. In bringing together these various narratives and scales of people's movement in space, embodiment, and feeling, they provide a guide for how scholars, teachers, students, and viewers can use film to better understand intercultural communication, and recognize its integrality to a greater and more just society.--Meenasarani Linde Murugan, Fordham University By examining diverse 21st-century cross-cultural films, the authors place a much needed analysis on the global complexities reflected in cultural products. Their attention to mobility, adaptation, identity, migration, and globalization in film, while bringing in intercultural communication concepts and theories, makes this book is a must-have for any educator and scholar of media studies and intercultural communication! It is an excellent teaching book on many well-known and well-regarded films that will appeal to readers globally.--Diem-My Bui, University of Illinois at Chicago Ishani Mukherjee and Maggie Griffith Williams have put together a set of analyses that connect film and intercultural communication. Through a careful and close discussion of particular texts portraying contexts of complex intercultural learning and growth, the authors have provided us with a text that can be engaged within academic contexts in the classroom (both undergraduate and graduate) as well as outside of academia. This is a much-needed bridging of cultural studies, mobilities, and migration-based reading of film as applicable to the practical everydayness of the field of intercultural communication. Writing in a manner that is accessible yet theoretically nuanced is not easy - but the authors of this book have achieved the balance.--Radhika Gajjala, Bowling Green State University Analyzing popular motion pictures with depth and care, Ishani Mukherjee and Maggie Griffith Williams move between different national cinemas to highlight films that can be helpful in fostering intercultural communication.
