This work stands as a witness to the power of black cinema to render complex, complicated, and cross-resonant expressions for renarrating and rethinking human life in a post-Columbus world. It is essential reading across the humanities and social sciences for anyone interested in how the modern world comes into being from a black diasporic cinematic perspective. - Rinaldo Walcott, associate professor of cultural studies at the University of Toronto and editor of New Dawn: The Journal of Black Canadian Studies
