Berkeley. 2010. University of California Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 9780520262171. 258 pages. paperback. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Satyajit Ray is the South Asian filmmaker most likely to appear on lists of great directors of the world, along with Kurosawa, Godard, Tarkovsky, EIsenstain, Ozu, Antonioni, et. al. Ray's films are revered, but lately it is Bollywood, rather than Ray's more serious cinema, that has gotten more attention. Unlike his peers on the lists of all-time-greats he is usually discussed by critics in a nationalist context: as an Indian filmmaker rather than a modernist filmmaker, an avant-garde filmmaker, or a filmmaker whose influence was felt in Europe and North America. Ganguly aims to rethink Ray in an international, modernist context. The book selects Ray's most important films for close readings that focus on Ray as a modernist craftsman, and on how his stories of Indian men and women, whether urban or rural, old or young, conventional or rebellious, reflect modernists’ concerns about human relations. inventory #37719 ISBN: 9780520262171., 0, Berg Publishers, 1997-10-01.

While there has been a spate of books concerned with race and ethnicity in Europe more specifically, this timely volume offers a broader perspective and positions issues of identity, ethnicity, multiculturalism, xenophobia, regionalism and ethnonationalism within the wider contexts of trans- and supranationalism. With the weakening of welfare states and the homogenizing influences of globalization, nations within both Eastern and Western Europe are discovering that the battlefield of political action is being redefined, and as a result emotional alliances threaten to bypass the democratic systems of the past. Offering fresh insights that are both empirically and theoretically informed, this book illuminates the processes and consequences of these new developments. In particular, it reviews Marx's, Durkheim's and Simmel's theories on nationalism and national identity, and presents case studies of Belgium, Italy's Northern League, right-wing intellectual production in Russia, and much more.
