Literature, Film, and Decolonization in Africa
Designed to support teaching in African Studies, Literature, History, Postcolonial Studies, Cultural Studies, Film and Media Studies, and related disciplines, Literature, Film, and Decolonization in Africa offers a direct entry point into the history and legacy of colonialism in Africa through literature and film. Centered on the work of Frantz Fanon and Mongo Beti, it connects political thought, literary critique, and lived experience to show how colonial systems shaped identity, culture, and resistance.
The collection includes:
• Frantz Fanon: His Life, His Struggle, His Work
• Following the Footsteps of Ville Cruelle
• Congo: White King, Red Rubber, Black Death
Frantz Fanon: His Life, His Struggle, His Work introduces one of the most influential voices on decolonization. Following the Footsteps of Ville Cruelle revisits the world of Mongo Beti, grounding his writing in the realities of Cameroon, past and present. Congo: White King, Red Rubber, Black Death exposes the violence and economic exploitation at the core of colonial rule in Central Africa.
Together, Literature, Film, and Decolonization in Africa provides a clear, accessible framework for understanding how colonial histories were constructed—and how they continue to be challenged through writing and cinema. The collection supports discussion on colonialism, decolonization, literature, historical memory, power, representation, and the role of culture in shaping historical narratives.
Purchase includes perpetual institutional streaming access with Public Performance Rights (PPR) to all three films.
