This book investigates how identities for West African women are
created and recreated through the broad interplay of Nollywood film
viewing on social and individual levels. Since many Nollywood films
are freely accessible online, the role of online communities
repurposes Nollywood films. Female Narratives in Nollywood
Melodramas addresses if this is a good or bad promoter of critical
consciousness, as many of the films depict the stifling of women.
The authors examine nine Nollywood melodramas through Black
feminist, cultivation, audience reception, and social identity
theories. Readers will gain an understanding of how Nollywood is a
product and contributor to evolving processes of globalization.
Recommended for scholars of film studies, communication, African
studies, and women studies.
