These readings delve into the ways in which these films adapt the zombie myth to address localized fears related to neoliberal capitalism, globalization, gender and sexuality, national identity, history, and trauma, as well as the exploration of self-definition within and without cultural and social institutions. By tracing these diverse variations, John R. Ziegler conducts a comprehensive investigation into both well-known and lesser-known examples, including South Korea's Train to Busan (2016), Cuba's Juan of the Dead (2011), Malaysia's KL24: Zombies (2017), Italy's The End? (2017), and India's Rise of the Zombie (2010). Ziegler argues that these films serve as powerful vehicles for exploring contemporary concerns on a global scale, demonstrating the enduring significance of the zombie as a flexible and potent tool for thought. Furthermore, he suggests that the zombie myth continues to evolve and circulate in transnational cinema, retaining its undead vitality as it undergoes further mutations and adaptations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666903409\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John R.
