African Women in Cinema: Stories of Home

 "I say home is where my mother is"--Akuol Garang de Mabior

The notion of home for many transnational African women of the screen is fluid or situational, an experience that is best described by James Baldwin, the renowned expatriate writer: “you take your home with you. You’d better. Otherwise you're homeless”. 

For Women’s History Month, the African Women in Cinema Blog presents a selection of articles exploring the notion of home.
