Description

Explore the deep connection between film and national identity in South Africa with this Routledge publication. South African National Cinema provides a detailed study of how motion pictures represent race and help shape the country's history. This book tracks the evolution of cinema through the twentieth century and into the modern era, examining how film played a role in the making, entrenching, and undoing of apartheid. Readers will find a comprehensive analysis of selected films that define the South African experience. The text moves from early works like De Voortrekkers (1916) through to Mapantsula (1988), and includes important post-apartheid productions such as Drum (2004), Tsotsi (2005), and Zulu Love. It is an essential resource for anyone studying film history, South African studies, or the social impact of media on national identity.
