“A pioneering study of francophone West African television serials and comedy, this book is a must read for students and scholars of world cinema. It expertly details ‘interactivity’ between African screen media and traditional and popular dramatic forms and, perhaps most importantly, links the production and dissemination of recent French-language African movies to transnational circuits of media and capital in the context of the massive economic and technological changes of the twenty-first century.”—CARMELA GARRITANO, Associate Professor, Africana Studies and Film Studies, Texas A&M University
