In Dust of the Zulu Louise Meintjes traces the political and
aesthetic significance of ngoma, a competitive form of dance and
music that emerged out of the legacies of colonialism and apartheid
in South Africa. Contextualizing ngoma within South Africa's
history of violence, migrant labor, the HIV epidemic, and the world
music market, Meintjes follows a community ngoma team and its
professional subgroup during the twenty years after apartheid's
end. She intricately ties aesthetics to politics, embodiment to the
voice, and masculine anger to eloquence and virtuosity, relating
the visceral experience of ngoma performances as they embody the
expanse of South African history. Meintjes also shows how ngoma
helps build community, cultivate responsible manhood, and provide
its participants with a means to reconcile South Africa's past with
its postapartheid future. Dust of the Zulu includes over one
hundred photographs of ngoma performances, the majority taken by
award-winning photojournalist TJ Lemon.
