While there is a significant body of scholarship on the representation of the family in Hollywood cinema, an analysis of the depiction of the diasporic family in cinema from a comparative transnational angle has yet to be attempted. This book fills this gap and provides an essential resource for academics and researchers with an interest in cinematic representations of the family and transnational cinema.The work will answer the following key questions: 1. Why is diasporic cinema characterised by a preponderance of family narratives? 2. How does the diasporic family as constructed in cinema relate to or differ from models of family life in dominant social groups? 3. What role does authorship play in the depiction of the diasporic family? 4. How does diasporic cinema negotiate the aesthetic and generic conventions of film genres commonly associated with the representation of the family?
