A philosopher-filmmaker, Kathleen Collins decisively redefined the parameters of African American film with The Cruz Brothers and Miss Malloy (1980) and Losing Ground (1982). This book uses detailed analyses of Collins’s films to contextualise her work in the African American, feminist and world film traditions, and it highlights her contribution to each of these canons. Exploring the philosophical aspects of Collins’s films and placing her in a genealogy of African American auteurs, Geetha Ramanathan argues that Collins uses film to integrate diverse elements of African American culture, showing how the medium can transform the visual and become a site of convergence for ideas on philosophy, otherness, art, aesthetics and the craft of filmmaking

Using Kamel Daoud's The Meursault Investigation and Juan Gabriel Vásquez's The Secret History of Costaguana, this book asks you to serve as the jury on euro-modernism, specifically the canonical texts Camus's The Stranger and Conrad's Nostromo. The book reveals the extent to which euro-modernist aesthetics was culpable in rationalising colonialism.
