“Rarely does a book come along that opens up an entirely new world in cinema studies. This sophisticated volume, a groundbreaking book for a number of reasons, does just that…. Summing Up: Highly recommended.”—Choice
“An extremely important contribution to the field of African media studies. Garritano’s work is not only the first monograph to focus on Ghanaian video movies, it also adds to ongoing conversations about postcolonial visual cultures, globalization, consumerism, and African gender dynamics…. Garritano has written what might easily be the first feminist monograph on popular African screen media.”—Black Camera
“A satisfying and authoritative account…. Garritano situates Ghana’s video industries within complex global flows of capital, neo- liberal economies, and their effects on desire and subjectivity…. The book’s scope and conceptual framing will be familiar and useful to readers in other areas of film and media studies.”—African Arts
