Reviews
An interrogative, urgent edition to the expanding field of Bond scholarship, Lisa Funnell and Christoph Lindner's Resisting James Bond takes the Daniel Craig oeuvre as a whole and offers an overarching yet thoroughly comprehensive take on the actor's five-film tenure vis a vis a number of original and inventive chapter topics. A rare scholarly treat. * Ian Kinane, General Editor, International Journal of James Bond Studies, University of Roehampton, UK *
This is a thought-provoking collection which, in challenging the identification of mainstream cinema with mindless entertainment, delves deep into the problematic representation of social injustice and oppression within the longest franchise in film history. Re-assessing James Bond's Craig era against the global rise of social and political unrest of the first two decades of the twenty-first century, the collection's interdisciplinary essays interrogate the power structures embodied by the world's most iconic fictional secret agent at a crucial moment in the 007 series. * Monica Germana, Reader in Gothic and Contemporary Studies at the University of Westminster, UK *
