N2  - Watch an interview with author Daniela Berghahn on Facultimedia.com to find out more about Far-Flung Families in FilmIn the age of globalisation, diasporic and other types of transnational family are increasingly represented in films such as East is East, Le Grand Voyage, Almanya – Welcome to Germany, Immigrant Memories, Couscous, When We Leave, Monsoon Wedding and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. While there is a significant body of scholarship on the representation of the family in Hollywood cinema, this is the first book to analyse the depiction of Black and Asian British, Maghrebi French and Turkish German families from a comparative transnational perspective.Drawing on critical concepts from diaspora studies, anthropology, socio-historical research on diasporic families and the burgeoning field of transnational film studies, this book is an essential read for Film Studies scholars and students who are researching families and issues of race and ethnicity in cinema, the media and visual culture.Key featuresTakes a theme-centred approach, examining journeys of migration, family memories, gender identities, romance and weddingsIncludes fifteen detailed case studies of diasporic family filmsAll of the films discussed in the book are commercially available on DVD Interactive companion website www.farflungfamilies.net provides additional resources"
