For too long, African cinema has been viewed through a Western lens. This book challenges that perspective, offering a "subaltern lens" - the voice of the marginalized - to examine the film industry's role in power dynamics, identity construction, and the future of media in Africa.Moving beyond traditional Marxist frameworks, the book explores alternative political economy approaches that center African Feminist, Muslim, and Queer perspectives. Through interviews and focus groups with key industry figures, the book investigates how these frameworks can better explain ownership, production, and audience engagement.This critical analysis delves into the potential for decolonizing media to create a space for public discourse outside the nation-state. By examining how African collectives operate beyond class barriers, the book paves the way for a new understanding of media's role in shaping a more equitable and authentic future for Africa
