In this book, Robert K. Beshara applies decolonial film theory to an analysis of Youssef Chahine’s (1997) Al-Masir (Destiny).

Transmodern Cinema and Decolonial Film Theory is the first book on decolonial film theory, which unpacks key concepts in decoloniality and decolonial aesthetics. Decolonial film theory is then applied to Youssef Chahine’s (1997) historical drama al-Ma?ir in an effort to juxtapose the Egyptian filmmaker (Chahine) and his decolonial cinema to the Andalusian polymath (Ibn Rushd) and his Islamic philosophy.

Robert K. Beshara is Associate Professor and Chair of Arts & Human Sciences at Northern New Mexico College, USA. He is the author of Decolonial Psychoanalysis: Towards Critical Islamophobia Studies (2019) and Freud and Said: Contrapuntal Psychoanalysis as Liberation Praxis (2021). He is also the editor of A Critical Introduction to Psychology (2019) and Critical Psychology Praxis: Psychosocial Non-Alignment to Modernity/Coloniality (2021), as well as the translator of Mourad Wahba's (1995) Fundamentalism and Secularization (Bloomsbury, 2022). Beshara is the founder of the Critical Psychology website: www.criticalpsychology.org.
