Description

Crisis Urbanism and Postcolonial African Cities in Postmillennial Cinema offers a fresh framework to rethink postcoloniality and urbanism through African perspectives. This academic work brings together multidisciplinary views on African crises by analyzing postmillennial films. It addresses the vital need to situate global south cultural studies directly within the African region. By using film criticism and semiotics, the book decodes the contemporary cultures of African cities, with a specific focus on the concept of crisis. It draws on various contemporary theories regarding cities of the global south, particularly within Africa, to examine the nuances of crisis urbanism. This text is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in how cinema reflects and shapes the understanding of urban life and postcolonial identity in Africa.
