PMA Ph.D. student, writer, and film producer, Rejoice Abutsa has published a book review in the Journal of the African Literature Association, alongside other leading scholars in the field, Matthew H. Brown, Ying Cheng, Alessandro Jedlowski, Stephanie Newell, and Paul Ugor. The subject of the review is the book Lagos Never Spoils: Nollywood and Nigerian City Life, written by Connor Ryan, from University of Michigan Press.
In the review, Abutsa writes: “Lagos Never Spoils energizes the main character persona of Lagos and pulls Nollywood studies into the global discourse on cinema and cities. Although Nollywood is often deployed to refer to the entirety of production cultures emerging from Nigeria, Ryan carefully expands the repertoire of our assessment by pulling apart the generational nuances that inform/impede intergenerational continuities within screen cultures in Lagos.”
