Description

1. This volume is a foundational text exploring a variety of cinematic formats and disciplinary Perspectives. It has strong classroom appeal and will be useful in courses in cinema, anthropology, history, and global politics. 2. The works in this collection handle timely, key questions, such as how does the presentation of Africa and the understanding of human rights issues differ between films produced by Africans and films produced outside of the continent? 3. The editors are experienced and have an impressive number of solo authored and edited publications each. Mette Hjort is a returning IU Press author. Included are essays by both up-and-coming and major scholars of African cinema alongside scholar-filmmakers and legal experts. Interviews with Jean Marie Teno and Gaston Kaboré, two African filmmakers whose work routinely addresses issues of human rights, provide additional non-scholarly perspectives.
