Reviews for Indianizing Film
Schiwy's analysis of indigenous media contributes provocative, rich, close readings of several key concepts from Latin American literary and cultural studies, including: transculturation, literacy, testimonio, the lettered city, and global multiculturalism. . . . Her compelling analysis of the thematic, discursive, and structural components of individual videos is nuanced and smart.
