Unsettling Sights: The Fourth World on Film

Unsettling Sights: The Fourth World on Film examines the politics of representing Aboriginality, in the process bringing frequently marginalized voices and visions, issues and debates into the limelight. Using film theory, postcolonial theory, and Indigenous theory to frame her discussion, Corinn Columpar produces a broad interdisciplinary analysis of the cinematic construction and transnational circulation of Aboriginality, supported by more than twenty rigorous case studies of contemporary feature films by First- and Fourth-World filmmakers in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia.

Among the first significant scholarly examinations of Aboriginality and cinema in an international context, Unsettling Sights will be invaluable to scholars and students in many fields, including cinema studies, anthropology, critical race studies, cultural studies, and postcolonial studies.
