{"product_id":"the-african-gaze-photography-cinema-and-power","title":"The African Gaze: Photography, Cinema and Power","description":"An accessible yet critical introduction to African photography and film from the mid-twentieth century to present day.\nThe African Gaze is a comprehensive exploration of postcolonial and contemporary photography and cinema from Africa. Drawing from archival imagery and documents, interviews with the photographers and filmmakers (in some cases family members\/close associates if the artist is deceased), and contributions from writers, scholars, and curators, it maps a comprehensive introduction to African moving and still imagery.\nThis is a hugely important and timely publication―engagement with Black and African histories is stronger than ever before (and long overdue). The major names of African photography, such as Malick Sidibé, Sanlé Sory, and Seydou Keïta, have become highly collectible in the art market, while African cinema, pioneered by filmmakers such as Ousmane Sembène in 1960s Senegal, is now recognized for its creative innovation and storytelling.\nFor anyone drawn to African photography and film, this book will provide an exciting and accessible overview.\nFeaturing interviews with Samuel Fosso and Souleymane Cissé. 280 illustrations, 130 in color\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0500025398\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.0500025398.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sall, Amy|Diouf, Mamadou|Price, Yasmina|Samudzi, Zoé\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has corner edge dings and or rips.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55497615704369,"sku":"GBV.0500025398.G","price":43.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/the-african-gaze-photography-cinema-and-power","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
