Description |
The eighth session of a 10 week Celebration of African Culture, held at WFA Media and Cultural Centre in Manchester between February and May 1983. Gareth Richards chairs panel, including Terence Ranger and Kareen, and audience discussion after the screening of Osman Sembene's film 'Ceddo'. Kareen talks about the false conclusion western women make in their interpretation of the film, as one about women's liberation, and she quotes from Sembene to clarify the meaning of the film. Terence Ranger speaks about the importance of understanding Senegal, with its Muslim majority and process of 'Islamisation,' of which the film is a critique. After 7 minutes, contributions are opened to the floor with Gus John talking about women and Islam, and then much more discussion about these issues. |
