Tracing Cinema as Anticolonial Resistance through the Archives of "Présence Africaine"

  • Abigail Carter

Abstract


This article considers the relationship between the journal Présence Africaine, and cinema as a vehicle for anticolonial thought and practice. Drawing upon archival research on the writings of Paulin Vieyra, the article explores the continued resonance of his work today, whilst also problematizing the historical silencing of Francophone African women filmmakers.
