<p>"<i>African Cinema: Manifesto and Practice for Cultural Decolonization</i> combines theory and praxis as a means to explore the social, cultural, political, economic and gendered dynamics of African cinemas within a global context, all of which are determining factors in how African filmmaking practitioners and stakeholders negotiate their place as directors, producers, organizers, activists, scholars, distributors, cultural readers. The collection is an important addition to African Cinema Studies in particular, and the library of Film Studies in general."—Beti Ellerson, Founder and Director, Centre for the Study and Research of African Women in Cinema<br /><br />"Setting out, <i>African Cinema</i> positioned itself at the intersection of a theory and practice of cultural self-apprehension, with all the contradictions that come with that position. In this three-volume compendium, Martin, Kaboré and their various collaborators have provided a comprehensive, almost exhaustive, account eventuating in a third, element—history. A more comprehensive account will be hard to find anywhere else."—Akin Adesokan, Indiana University<br /><br />"This is a long-awaited volume of detailed, and analytical information and commentary that maps the development of the cinema of a large continent and the background ideas that have influenced its formation."—June Givanni, Director of the June Givanni Pan African Cinema Archive (JGPACA)</p>
