Synopsis

Important studies of popular culture today in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia.

Review

This collection plays a valuable role in bringing together under one roof a range of contemporary work in Southern African cultural studies. By showcasing the work in this way, it will hopefully provide a sharpened focus for debate and pave the way for further anthologies of this type. — South African Historical Journal
