"Archipelagic Cinemas is a beautifully written book, impeccably researched and strongly grounded in Southeast Asian thought. It offers a detailed comparative history of Southeast Asian film style and political development while arguing compellingly for the significance of Southeast Asia to theorizing cinematic modernity."--Rosalind Galt, author of Alluring Monsters: The Pontianak and Cinemas of Decolonization
"Departing from the dominant standpoint of the nation, with a deep knowledge of local and regional histories and cultures, Archipelagic Cinemas is an ambitious and sprawling decolonial intervention that explores how vernacular concepts, figures, and genres can be used as theoretical, intermedial, transdiegetic frameworks of analysis."--Elmo Gonzaga, Associate Professor of Film and Cultural Studies, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
