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.
