Bu e-kitab haqqında
Returning home, these filmmakers brought a unique insider/outsider perspective to bear on local developments in society since independence, including the divide between urban and rural communities, the continuing power of traditional values and the status of women in a changing society.

Roots of the New Arab Film is a necessary and comprehensive resource for anyone interested in the foundations of Arab cinema.
