Reviews
'This is an excellent book: fresh, graceful, perspicacious, intelligent, current, and always alive with passionate sympathy for its subject... Barlet has impressive powers of synthesis, fashioning an insightful and often elegant thematic argument out of a vast quantity of material... It is hard to do justice to the richness of the book in a brief review... This is very much a book about understanding across cultures and the necessity of multiculturalism ... it is an invitation au voyage , as Barlet says, and a singularly attractive introduction to African film' - Jonathan Haynes in Research in African Literatures 'The reader will discover the book's depth and a wealth of information on the varied cinemas of Africa' - International Journal of African Historical Studies
