Pressezitat
“Cinema and Society in the British Empire is … a thoroughly fascinating book. … It reveals the complexity and nuance of British colonial rule in the tropical empire while exploring cinema’s crucial role within it. … This is an accessibly written, broad-ranging and impeccably researched book that is certain to be a key point of reference for future scholars of cinema-going in the British Empire. It is sure to attract a wide readership.” (Robert James, The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, Vol. 42 (3), 2014)
