| Summary: | Natália Pinazza’s Journeys in Argentine and Brazilian Cinema: Road Films in a Global Era navigates a particularly complex and multifaceted terrain that considers several complementary key concepts, such as transnational, national, regional, local, and diasporic cinema. The author draws upon major theorists in the field, and provides compelling evidence for the claims made in two national contexts, Argentine and Brazilian cinema. The book deals with broad themes that cohere with explorations in transnational cinema, by focusing on identities in flux and in renewal, border controls and border crossing, issues of belonging, home and homeland, social marginalisation, and poverty.
