Reviews

Daniela Ricci brilliantly incorporates sociopolitical, psychological, and philosophical tools in her study of innovative aesthetics created by contemporary filmmakers of African descent. Ricci's well documented book, beautifully translated by Melissa Thackway, highlights personal journeys and diverse representations of global issues. This is a must-read for researchers in film, African studies, and diaspora studies, as well as other areas of the humanities and social sciences. --FRANCOISE PFAFF, Professor Emerita, Department of World Languages and Cultures, Howard University
