Description

Cinema and Development in West Africa explores how film played a significant role in nation-building during West Africa's transition from French rule to the early postcolonial period. James E. Genova examines the construction of African identities and economic development through the lens of political literature and cultural production.

By focusing on film as both an industry and aesthetic genre, Genova demonstrates its unique place in economic development and provides a comprehensive history of filmmaking in the region during this critical period. This book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between politics, culture, and economy in Francophone West Africa.
