And it is the dynamism of this culture that makes Africa what it is. In this book, Karin Barber offers a journey through the history of music, theatre, fiction, song, dance, poetry, and film from the seventeenth century to the present day. From satires created by those living in West African coastal towns in the era of the slave trade, to the poetry and fiction of townships and mine compounds in South Africa, and from today's East African streets where Swahili hip hop artists gather to the juggernaut of the Nollywood film industry, this book weaves together a wealth of sites and scenes of cultural production. In doing so, it provides an ideal text for students and researchers seeking to learn more about the diversity, specificity and vibrancy of popular cultural forms in African history. 7aPopular culturezAfrica, Sub-SaharanxHistory.2BUEsh 7aAfrica, Sub-SaharanxSocial life and customs.2BUEsh  bBUSBOLcMarch2019  2ddc  00102ddc40708AlahramaMAINbMAINc1STd2019-03-20ePurchaseg469.00h526l0o306.0967 BARp000043273r2021-08-18 00:00:00v586.25yBB
