Music, Modernity, and the Global Imagination: South Africa and the West
ISBN: 9780195123678 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How was Africa seen by the West during the colonial period?

In a detailed study spanning from the late nineteenth century to the present, renowned anthropologist and ethnomusicologist Veit Erlmann examines the...

Brewer eloquently links this lack of modernization...
