Cinemas of the Global South

Towards a Southern Aesthetics

Herausgeber: Menon, Dilip M; Taha, Amir

Beschreibung

This book engages with the idea of the Global South through cinema as a concept of resistance; as a space of decolonialisation; and as an arena of virtuality, creativity and change. It opens up a dialogue amongst scholars and filmmakers from the Global South: India, Nigeria, Colombia, Brazil, South Africa, and Egypt.
