Conclusion
Index
Sarah Wright is Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London
‘The study will… be of great value to scholars and students of
Spanish culture and film, not only as a survey of the child’s
presence therein but also as an engaging series of creatively
theorized close readings that enrich understanding of films
canonical and otherwise.’
Sarah Thomas, Brown University, Modern Language Review Vol 112,
Part 1 January 2017
‘This book is compelling reading for undergraduate and postgraduate
students, film historians, Hispanists in general, and for anyone
interested in the imaginary and the construction or invention of
children by dictatorial regimes, exploitative producers and
politically committed directors. Indeed, it could serve as a
mandatory reference text for future university courses on this
popular topic.’
Lorraine Ryan, University of Birmingham, Bulletin of Spanish Visual
Studies Volume II, Number 1, 2018
