Why would a Hollywood film become a Nigerian video remake, a
Tanzanian comic book, or a Congolese music video? Matthias Krings
explores the myriad ways Africans respond to the relentless
onslaught of global culture. He seeks out places where they have
adapted pervasive cultural forms to their own purposes as photo
novels, comic books, songs, posters, and even scam letters. These
African appropriations reveal the broad scope of cultural mediation
that is characteristic of our hyperlinked age. Krings argues that
there is no longer an "original" or "faithful copy," but only
endless transformations that thrive in the fertile ground of
African popular culture.
