Yosefa Loshitzky challenges the utopian notion of a post-national "NewEurope" by focusing on the waves of migrants and refugees that some view as apotential threat to European identity, a concern heightened by the rhetoric of thewar on terror, the London Underground bombings, and the riots in Paris's banlieues.Opening a cinematic window onto this struggle, Loshitzky determines patterns in therepresentation and negotiation of European identity in several European films fromthe late 20th and early 21st centuries, including Bernardo Bertolucci's Besieged, Stephen Frears's Dirty Pretty Things, Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine, and MichaelWinterbottom's In This World, Code 46, and The Road to Guantanamo.
