Screening and Depicting Cultural Diversity in the English-Speaking World and Beyond

European-based scholars of English language, literature, and film explore examples of cultural diversity and prejudice in popular media. The topics include identity and alterity in post-colonial film versions of A Passage to India and Apocalypse Now, changing perceptions of aboriginality from 1972 to 2009, narratives of diversity in Stephen Frears’ Dirty Pretty Things, facets of cultural diversity and difference in British fictional television series, and cultural diversity and national identity in Anglo-Boer War propaganda images.
