| Description: | Sembene is one of the major figures of African literature, and also one of Africa's foremost film directors. This is the first study to give an overview of his work in fiction & on screen. The author argues that Sembene "imagines alternatives" to the dominant narratives of both Africa, in general, and Senegal in particular. Sembene proposes his own counter-narratives in a radical re-interpretation of history and culture. |
| Key Points: | Focusing on the themes of the representation of the African city, animism, the role of African women, colonialism and neo-colonialism, the book sets out to define the nature of Sembene's radical vision, assessing its value and its limitations as part of a social discourse of liberation and resistance in Africa. |
