Popular culture in Africa is the product of everyday life: the
unofficial, the non-canonical. 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.
