ISBN: 9781611863635

Examines how national and transnational forces have shaped the representation of race and nation in feature-length narrative fiction films in South Africa since 1994, as well as the ways diverse audiences experience these films.

“The history of South African film is well documented, especially during the period of political transition. Less well examined is the contemporary post-millennial era, on which Moyer-Duncan’s book offers a very useful analytical frame to underpin study of those cinema themes that followed liberation after 1994.” Keyan Tomaselli, Distinguished Professor of Communication Studies, University of Johannesburg, and Professor Emeritus and Fellow, University of KwaZulu-Natal
