Though Sembène 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 Sembène and contributes a critical appraisal of his life and art in the context of the political and social influences on his work. Beginning with Sembène's life in Casamance, Senegal, and ending with his militant career as a dockworker in Marseilles, Gadjigo places Sembène 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. 606 $aAuthors, Senegalese$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aMotion picture producers and directors$zSenegal$vBiography 606 $aPostcolonialism$xSocial aspects$zSenegal 606 $aSenegalese literature (French)$xHistory and criticism 607 $aCasamance (Senegal)$vBiography 607 $aMarseille (France)$vBiography 607 $aSenegal$xColonial influence 607 $aSenegal$xIntellectual life 615 0$aAuthors, Senegalese 615 0$aMotion picture producers and directors 615 0$aPostcolonialism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSenegalese literature (French)$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a843/.914 676 $aB 700 $aGadjigo$b Samba$f1954-$01667690 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807959103321 996 $aOusmane Sembe?ne$94027706 997 $aUNINA
