This collection focuses on the value of the analysis and discussion of transnational films in the university classroom, and the specific pedagogical, political and conceptual challenges that are posed by this subject. Exploring films like Children of Men, Babel, and Slumdog Millionaire, contributors engage with issues related to immigrant identities, transnational encounters, foreignness, cosmopolitanism and citizenship, the politics of visibility, terrorism and the War on Terror, legality, and race.
