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. |
