| Summary: | Although Ngozi Onwurah is a leading figure of Black British cinema, she still remains largely in the margins of British Film Studies. Her work, which is often autobiographical and offers representations of childhood, questions the identity-building process of black and mixed-race children within white societies. While referring to Judith Butler's concepts of the stylization of the body and gender performativity, and combining phenomenological and postcolonial approaches, I will explore how childhood in Ngozi Onwurah's films actually reveals strategies of subversion of racial and gender identities. |
