Challenging established views and assumptions about traditions and practices of filmmaking in the African diaspora, this three-volume set offers readers a researched critique on black film.
Volume One of this landmark series on African cinema draws together foundational scholarship on its history and evolution. Beginning with the ideological project of colonial film to legitimize the economic exploitation and cultural hegemony of the African continent during imperial rule to its counter-historical formation and theorization. It comprises essays by film scholars and filmmakers alike, among them Roy Armes, Med Hondo, Fèrid Boughedir, Haile Gerima, Oliver Barlet, Teshome Gabriel, and David Murphy, including three distinct dossiers: a timeline of key dates in the history of African cinema; a comprehensive chronicle and account of the contributions by African women in cinema; and a homage and overview of Ousmane Sembène, the "Father" of African cinema.

Reviews
"African Cinema: Manifesto and Practice for Cultural Decolonization 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
"Setting out, African Cinema 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
"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)
