Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Nollywood Book Announcement

BJ,   I thank you  sincerely for your best wishes. 

Unfortunately, quantitative output of books is not my strongpoint-

so your prayer will not be answered anytime soon.😊

As for the cost of the book it is really outrageous, Cornelius.

I agree.

Thank you, Biko.

Osakue Omoera and Gloria Emeagwali (eds.).

Understanding Nigeria's Nollywood: Theoretical

and Empirical Illuminations. Germany: Galda Verlag, 

2025.

The first part of the book gives a theoretical 

overview. The second part includes micro-studies on

specific Nollywood films.

Chapter one  contains reactions from Trinidad and Tobago

to Nollywood,  with respect to viewer frequency, rationale

for viewing, and attitudes to Nigerian Films.

May there be many more books on Nollywood.
