Director Jean-Marie Teno uses Cameroon, the only African country colonized by three European powers, for a case study of the devastation of traditional African societies by imposed colonial cultures. This film will make the cultural and intellectual conflicts of present-day Africa easier to understand.

Manley Huntington Award for Newly Tenured Faculty, in recognition of outstanding merit. Her research interests include African literatures and cinema, postcolonial theory, colonial and postcolonial masculinities, and human rights.
