Rezension

"With Beyond Zombie Politics Roche, Boutang, and Cornillon have assembled a collection that completely revolutionizes how we can, and should, think about Romero as an artist, about film theory as a translator, and about cinema as a medium. This is an innovative, forward-thinking, and necessary intervention into writing about Romero and his work and marks the start of a new chapter in the further exploration of this unique artist and those he worked with." - Wickham Clayton, author of SEE! HEAR! CUT! KILL! Experiencing "Friday the 13th"

"This book stages new and necessary interventions in the study of popular cinema. Its primary strengths lie in the close attention it pays to often overlooked facets of Romero's filmography, its novel use of theory, and its careful engagement with existing scholarship in both English and French. A well-organized and comprehensive study, Beyond Zombie Politics will have a significant impact on how scholars and fans think about Romero, his work, his contexts, and his intertexts." - Miranda Corcoran, author of Witchcraft and Adolescence in American Popular Culture: Teen Witches
