Description
Book SynopsisUsing South African cinema as a lens through which to view cultural changes resulting from the end of apartheid in 1994, this title examines how media transformed the meaning of race and nation during this period and argues that, as apartheid was disbanded and new racial constructs allowed, South Africa quickly sought a new mode of representation.
Trade Review"... an important and pathbreaking contribution to film studies and to the literature on South African cinema.... No monograph or piece of individual scholarship of this kind exists on cinema in postapartheid South Africa." —Sean Jacobs, University of Michigan
