DISCONTINUED
Opens a new frontier of scholarly exploration...Moves beyond 'protest' and 'victim' discourse to transform the colonizing 'gaze' into the object of its own rancor-free inquiry.
--Sylvia Winter, Stanford University

"Concise, provocative and proudly personal. Diawara's film reframes an important and controversial figure in African cultural studies, raising crucial questions of race, culture, identity and film."
--Mbye Cham, Howard University

"An insightful portrait of one of the most controversial figures in film and anthropology but also a creative meditation on post-colonial representation itself."
--Christopher L. Miller, Yale University

"Informative, provocative and lots of fun."
--The Christian Science Monitor

"Disrupts any unitary view of representations of West Africa, the history of African film and Rouch's cinematic politics."
