"This important volume breaks fresh ground, not only by being the first detailed study of migration in films of the Portuguese-speaking world, but also by showing a healthy disregard for the constraints of disciplinary boundaries. It offers a valuable and timely critique of cinematic representations of the migratory experience that is informed and nuanced by a variety of scholarly perspectives and approaches." - Lisa Shaw, Reader in Portuguese and Brazilian Studies, University of Liverpool, UK
"The visual power of film, as film circulates globally, provides an excellent opportunity for viewers to obtain a more nuanced understanding of a society. The Portuguese films examined here reveal the conflicted ways in which a long-closed country like Portugal has been impacted by foreign immigration. And while many know Brazil to be a country of immigrants, the films examined here show the effect of socially and economically driven out-migration. The highly affective nature of film, as presented in these high-quality essays, shows how much more complicated the demographics of Brazil and Portugal are than foreign viewers may have thought." - David William Foster, Regents Professor of Portuguese and Spanish, Arizona State University, USA
