From award-winning author, Ifeoma Okoye, Behind the Clouds is the emotional story a woman trying to build a family under the societal pressures of 1970s Nigeria. Ije has visited every reputable faith healer, doctor, and herbalist she can find yet her desire to become a mother is proving impossible to fulfill. While her mother-in-law believes the blame should rest solely on the wife, her husband remains unfailingly supportive. That is until one day Ife arrives home to find a pregnant woman sitting in her house. She says she is the mother of her husband's child and she's here to take her rightful place in Ife's home... Raw and immensely thought-provoking, Okoye boldly captures the painful experience of being labelled a 'barren' woman in 1970s Nigeria.

This book proposes a new approach to the study of discourse in documentary film. It considers discourse as a basic factor of translation (as well as contexts, agents, and practices) and draws on the parallels between the disciplines of translating and documentary making to perform a discourse analysis of documentaries centering on migration. By relying on the concept of translation as a heuristic tool, the author highlights the discursive mechanisms of 18 documentaries on Latin American migration shown in the United States by the Public Broadcasting Service series POV between 1996 and 2018. This interdisciplinary approach facilitates a holistic analysis of documentary film discourse, while also raising awareness of positive discourses of migration. The book will be of interest to students and scholars involved in the study of discourse, translation, documentary, television, and migration.
