Synopsis
Samba Gadjigo presents a unique personal portrait and intellectual history of novelist and filmmaker Ousmane Sembčne. Though Sembčne has persistently deflected attention away from his personality, his life, and his past, Gadjigo has had unprecedented access to the artist and his family. This book is the first comprehensive biography of Sembčne and contributes a critical appraisal of his life and art in the context of the political and social influences on his work. Beginning with Sembčne’s life in Casamance, Senegal, and ending with his militant career as a dockworker in Marseilles, Gadjigo places Sembčne into the context of African colonial and postcolonial culture and charts his achievements in film and literature. This landmark book reveals the inner workings of one of Africa’s most distinguished and controversial figures.

Review
"Samba Gadjigo's book is both biography and demystification. It exposes the situations and historical moments which created Sembčne the artist. Concisely and convincingly written, this investigation of the life of a man who inhabited various intellectual, artistic, and political spaces is an eloquent duty of memory."
(Sada Niang, author of Djibril Diop Mambety)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
