African Film: A Subaltern Lens on Power, Identity, and the Future of Media

For too long, African cinema has been viewed through a Western lens. This book challenges that perspective, offering a "subaltern lens" - the voice of the marginalized - to examine the film industry's role in power dynamics, identity construction, and the future of media in Africa. Moving beyond traditional Marxist frameworks, the book explores alternative political economy approaches that center African Feminist, Muslim, and Queer perspectives. Through interviews and focus groups with key industry figures, the book investigates how these frameworks can better explain ownership, production, and audience engagement. This critical analysis delves into the potential for decolonizing media to create a space for public discourse outside the nation-state. By examining how African collectives operate beyond class barriers, the book paves the way for a new understanding of media's role in shaping a more equitable and authentic future for Africa

Professor Sanobar, for your Child Development course, I propose "ADHD Diagnosis: Beyond Averages." This book challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to ADHD diagnosis. We'll explore how ADHD can manifest in subtle ways, impacting focus, motivation, and emotional regulation, often leading to missed diagnoses, particularly in those whose symptoms fall outside the typical range. The book unpacks the concept of masking, where individuals unconsciously hide their symptoms. "ADHD Diagnosis" goes beyond identifying missed cases. We'll delve into the various subtypes of ADHD, how it presents differently in adults and adolescents, and the potential for co-occurring conditions. By understanding this spectrum of ADHD presentations, the book equips us to utilize a wider range of assessment tools and tailor treatment plans to individual needs. "ADHD Diagnosis: Beyond Averages" is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a more nuanced understanding of ADHD diagnosis, ensuring all individuals receive effective support.
