Freya Schiwy is associate professor of media and cultural studies at the University of California, Riverside.
"A highly original analysis of community, indigenous, and activist
media in contemporary Mexico. Schiwy sustains insightful
comparisons between contemporary video production and militant
Latin American cinema of the 1960s and 1970s, demonstrating with
elegance the innovative ways in which contemporary productions
construct what she calls a 'decolonial politics of affect' that is
analyzed through the categories of visibility, communality, joy,
and humor." --David M.J. Wood, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de
Mexico
"Schiwy accomplishes a genealogical shift that is
overdue--repositioning a 'reading' of indigenous media less
tethered to cultural anthropology where media makers operate as
artists and where their works and process are in dialogue with
broader discourses, including those of cinematic traditions in
Latin America." --Erica Cusi Wortham, George Washington
University
