New book:
(Re)imagining African Independence
Film, Visual Arts and the Fall of the Portuguese Empire
Series: Reconfiguring Identities in the Portuguese-Speaking World
Edited by Maria do Carmo Piçarra and Teresa Castro
Description:
The fortieth anniversary of the independence of the African countries
colonized by Portugal presents a valuable opportunity to reassess how
colonialism has been «imagined» through the medium of the moving image.
The essays collected in this volume investigate Portuguese colonialism
and its filmic and audio-visual imaginaries both during and after the
Estado Novo regime, examining political propaganda films shot during the
liberation wars and exploring the questions and debates these generate.
The book also highlights common aspects in the emergence of a national
cinema in Angola, Mozambique and Guinea-Bissau. By reanimating (and
decolonizing) the archive, it represents an important contribution to
Portuguese colonial history, as well as to the history of cinema and the
visual arts.
