Africa In Stereo examines the role that African American music has
played in the pan-Africanist imagination since the end of the
nineteenth century. Throughout, Jaji marshals a wide array of
critical, archival, literary, visual, and sonic sources to craft an
argument centered on the stereophonic echoes between three sites on
the African continent emblematic of pan-Africanism (Ghana, Senegal,
and South Africa) and black musical cultures in the US (as well as
few other places on the diasporic landscape). Rather than take a
purely musical tack that traces the influence of African American
music on musical repertoires from Ghana, Senegal, and South Africa,
Africa In Stereo beautifully shows how a US black popular musical
genres inspired a host of writers and filmmakers such as Ousmane
Sembene, John Akomfrah, Sol Plaatje, Leopold Senghor, K. Anyidoho,
Charlotte Maxeke, Ken Bugul, as well as the glossy visual languages
found in the early magazines Bingo (Senegal) and Zonk! (South
Africa).
