----------



‘The beautifully illustrated Far-Flung Families in Film is a milestone 
in the study of diasporic film and ‘accented cinema’ (Hamid Naficy), and 
it also marks a particularly original and much-needed contribution to 
transnational cinema studies. I would warmly recommend Daniela 
Berghahn’s book to scholars, students, makers, promoters and critics of 
film as well as to learned cinema-goers.’

Márta Minier, Transnational Cinemas



In the age of globalisation, diasporic and other types of transnational 
family are increasingly represented in films such as East is East, Le 
Grand Voyage, Almanya – Welcome to Germany, Immigrant Memories, 
Couscous, When We Leave, Monsoon Wedding and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. 
While there is a significant body of scholarship on the representation 
of the family in Hollywood cinema, this is the first book to analyse the 
depiction of Black and Asian British, Maghrebi French and Turkish German 
families from a comparative transnational perspective.



Drawing on critical concepts from diaspora studies, anthropology, 
socio-historical research on diasporic families and the burgeoning field 
of transnational film studies, this book is an essential read for Film 
Studies scholars and students who are researching families and issues of 
race and ethnicity in cinema, the media and visual culture.
