""Vlad Dima's dedication to the global and the transnational are evident in this groundbreaking work. He probes African cinema in order to answer important questions pertaining to representations of sexuality and the body, African identity, femininity, masculinity, and queerness. Dima's contribution to African film studies encourages readers to think about the films of the postcolonial era that expose the enduring neocolonial relationships that bind Africans in capitalist systems of exploitation."" --VALÉRIE K. ORLANDO, Professor of French and Francophone Literatures and Cultures, University of Maryland, College Park
