Reviews

Carolina Rocha, Professor of Spanish, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville:

"Stephanie Pridgeon has aptly identified a gap in current bibliography. Supported by sound scholarship, Revolutionary Visions is a serious contribution to the field of Jewish Latin American studies."

Ariana Huberman, Associate Professor of Spanish, Haverford College:

"Representing an important contribution to the field, Revolutionary Visions highlights for the first time the role of Jewish political participation in the sixties and seventies as it is depicted in films from the nineties onward. None of the recent publications on this topic deal with the revolutionary politics from this era, and with this book Stephanie Pridgeon builds a new praxis of Jewish Latin American film studies."
