As we move through screen spaces of different types (past, present, public, private) in different media (television, cinema, video games, social media), we feel the exhilaration of this volume's collective experimental project to identify and interrogate spatialized structures of power across the media landscape.” -- Jacqueline Najuma Stewart, author of * Migrating to the Movies: Cinema and Black Urban Modernity *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eMedia Crossroads\u003c\/i\u003e invites scholars to rethink space and intersectionality, including and going beyond the confines of cities, lands, and architectures. Its analysis of commercial, mainstream, and avant-garde film and media as well as its focus on intersectionality makes it an innovative and important contribution to film and media studies.” -- Yeidy M.
