Ousmane Sembene and the Politics of Culture examines the works of one of Africa’s most influential writers and filmmakers within the context of his career-long preoccupation with the production of culture. Contributors to the collection foreground Sembene’s fixation on the centrality of culture in the articulation of the discourse of national consciousness, and re-evaluate his intellectual and artistic legacy within an overarching framework of African liberation. This collection will be of interest to students and scholars of African literature and cinema and to anyone interested in the analysis of the intersection of power, culture and the discourse of liberation.
