An accessible yet critical introduction to African photography and film from the mid-twentieth century to present day.
The African Gaze is a comprehensive exploration of postcolonial and contemporary photography and cinema from Africa. Drawing from archival imagery and documents, interviews with the photographers and filmmakers (in some cases family members/close associates if the artist is deceased), and contributions from writers, scholars, and curators, it maps a comprehensive introduction to African moving and still imagery.
This is a hugely important and timely publication―engagement with Black and African histories is stronger than ever before (and long overdue). The major names of African photography, such as Malick Sidibé, Sanlé Sory, and Seydou Keïta, have become highly collectible in the art market, while African cinema, pioneered by filmmakers such as Ousmane Sembène in 1960s Senegal, is now recognized for its creative innovation and storytelling.
For anyone drawn to African photography and film, this book will provide an exciting and accessible overview.
Featuring interviews with Samuel Fosso and Souleymane Cissé.
280 illustrations, 130 in color

"A mesmerizing ode to African 'image-makers' who have 'affirm[ed] the . . . humanity colonialism was determined to extinguish' . . . Covering a dizzying stylistic and geographic range, the entries reveal how these photographers and filmmakers transformed visual mediums that had a history of framing African people as 'primitive subjects for ethnographic study' into modes of expression that assert autonomy, honor tradition, and remake identity by reimagining links between past and present. Readers will be spellbound."
― Publishers Weekly
"Sall draws on her background in human rights and cultural studies to show how artistic expression in photography and cinema has sparked discussions on African history, identity, power dynamics, and representation . . . With its beautiful design and a wealth of accessible material, including 280 photographs, this book is a valuable resource for contemporary art history collections and a must-read for those interested in African photography and film."
― Library Journal
"A meticulously crafted archival compilation, The African Gaze allows readers to understand the postcolonial circumstances that forged these photographers and filmmakers."
― Harper’s Bazaar
"A spellbinding journey into the history and significance of pan-African art . . . It reveals photography as a powerful mechanism for expressing African subjectivities while also providing a visual library for understanding the influence and significance of postcolonial representations."
― Musée
"A most welcome overview of some of the richness produced by photographers and filmmakers from Africa . . . One of the most interesting aspects of looking through the book is understanding the many shared sensibilities between the photographers, since it connects the known names with the lesser known ones and their background."
― Conscientious Photography Magazine
