Abstract
The work of prolific Senegalese writer and filmmaker Ousmane Sembène
is strongly linked to the decolonisation and liberation of African countries
from the 1960s onwards. The son of a Lébou father – a fisherman from a
community originally from the Cap Vert peninsula – and a Serer mother,
an ethnic group among the last in Senegal to convert to Islam or
Christianity, this pioneer of African film still lacks the recognition he is
rightfully due in global cinema.
