Abstract
T:HE THREE BOOKS UNDER REVIEW ARE ABOUT AS DIFFERENT AS THEY CAN BE: a study of a single filmmaker based on an Irish doctoral dissertation, a collection of papers from a large-scale conference, and a broad, unified study by a French journalist. One thing they have in common is that it has taken all three books a long time to be published: the research in Dakar for the thesis took place in 1995, which is also the year of the conference, and the third book was first published in French in 1996. In those years the heavily politicized paradigm of 'Third World Cinema' was losing its hegemony over African film criticism, and the search was on for other ways to conceive of African cinema.
