Using a critical ecofeminist lens, this volume addresses the increasingly important question of whether legal personhood is the best means to achieving total interspecies liberation.

"Daniela Ricci-one of a new wave of critics of African and diasporic films-brilliantly incorporates sociopolitical, psychological, and philosophical tools in her study of innovative aesthetics created by contemporary filmmakers of African descent. Ricci's well-documented book, beautifully translated by Melissa Thackway, highlights personal journeys and diverse representations of global issues: migration, exile, biracialism, hybrid cultural identity, exclusion, alienation, and alterity. This is a must-read for researchers in film, African studies, and diaspora studies, as well as other areas of the humanities and social sciences."
