Western media often treat the continent as a simulacrum of Western anxieties. In contrast, Jeremy Harding focuses on specific historical episodes and cultural practices - cinema, art, ethnography and journalism - to steer us away from treacherous generalisations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnalogue Africa \u003c\/i\u003ecelebrates the ingenuity with which African artists - and a handful of Europeans - have reimagined the colonial encounter and voiced their impatience with white minority rule. Among his illustrious cast of filmmakers, photographers, writers and painters are Seydou Ke�ta, Sanl� Sory, Ernest Cole, Sarah Maldoror, John Akomfrah, William Kentridge and Binyavanga Wainaina. Harding argues that Western museums with priceless African holdings - the British Museum, the Mus�e du Quai Branly, the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Belgium - are now the sites of a struggle over the colonial past, adding the latest chapter to an unfinished history.","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47564758974615,"sku":"9781804295946","price":1724.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781804295946.webp?v=1774694157","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/analogue-africa-notes-on-the-anti-colonial-imagination-9781804295946","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
