"A Feminist Counter-History of Latin American Documentary provides a new lens through which to revisit the history of Latin American cinema and proposes three approximations to the study of women's documentary produced between the early 1970s and the mid-1990s. With a focus on documentaries with clear political intents, this book illustrates some of the thematic interests, authorial modes, production practices, formal devices, and aesthetic strategies employed by women filmmakers. Through analysis of thecontexts, processes, and forms of a selection of films, the author shows how these non-fiction films shed light on the precarious conditions that characterised women's greater entry into the workforce, on the circulation of feminist ideas, and on the inevitable questioning of identity that resulted from migration and displacement. This volume will appeal to scholars and students interested in women's and feminist cinema, documentary history, theory, and practice, and Latin American history and culture"--Provided by publisher.

A remarkable piece of cultural archaeology which recovers what should never have been buried the history of womens documentary in Latin America since the 1970s.Michael Chanan, Professor Emeritus of Film & Video, University of Roehampton.

Cervera rewrites Latin American documentary history in this lucid work of decolonial scholarship. In the process she takes a wide swath of feminist film scholarship and reformulates it in exciting new ways.Julia Lesage, Editor, Jump Cut: A Review of Contemporary Media.

This is a massive contribution to feminist efforts to reimagine Latin American cinema history. Cervera crafts a rich and colorful tapestry of courageous women filming under revolution, dictatorship, and exile, whose efforts are only now starting to get the attention they have always deserved. A wonderful introduction to the Latin American women directors and the feminist collectives who shaped and intervened in many of the crucial debates of their time, which also remain remarkably current today.Elizabeth Ramķrez-Soto, Associate Professor of Film, Columbia University.
