商品簡介
Asava (video and film, Dundalk Institute of Technology) analyzes screen representations of blacks in Ireland in films which challenge the concept of Irish identity as a stable, white, homogeneous ethnicity. The films are made by Irish and Irish-based directors, are co/produced by an Irish company, feature a predominantly Irish cast, and are set in Ireland. Some specific subjects examined include being black and Irish in Neil Jordan's The Crying Game and Breakfast on Pluto; Trafficked and the multicultural Irish thriller; and identities in the Irish horror films Isolation and Boy Eats Girl.
