Modern Representations of Sub-Saharan Africa

This book examines how representations of Africa in the Anglophone West have changed in the post-imperial age.

The period since the Second World War has seen profound changes in sub-Saharan Africa, notably because of decolonization, the creation of independent nation-states, and the transformation of the relationships with the West. Using a range of case studies from news media, maps, popular culture, film, and TV, the contributions assess how narratives and counter-narratives have developed and been received by their audiences in light of these changes.

Examining the overlapping areas between media representations and historical events, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African studies and media and cultural studies.

Lori Maguire is a professor at the University of Reims, France.

Susan Ball is a senior lecturer at the University of Paris 8, France.

Sbastien Lefait is a professor at Aix Marseille University, France.
