Samenvatting
This book is both a personal journey and an introduction to the cinema cultures of Africa. The first part traces the development of African cinema, from colonization to Afrocentrism. The author examines this development through a variety of fundamental themes: the decolonization of the imagination; the quest for legendary African origins and the mobilization of African cultural values. The second part analyses specific films. Finally the author explores the social and economic contexts of the African cinema and television industry. |
