Gillian Roberts’ Race, Nation and Cultural Power in Film Adaptation is a welcome addition to the canon of Adaptation Studies. It engages with a range of authors, texts, and locations, beginning in nineteenth-century fiction and concluding with adaptations from within Indigenous cultures, to explore the circulation of race, nation, and cultural power. It will be essential reading for all students of Adaptation Studies for a long time to come.
