Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: '...in effect the African poet or writer, like his counterparts from other regions of the globe, is essentially an individual...and his works equally reveal that in literature, reality is not infrequently coloured by the writer's own unique perspective... Whether an African poet may adopt any verse form, whether free, bound, local, alien, avant-garde or whatnot, and in doing so still communicate African values effectively, that should be a matter for choice and ability on the part of the poet... I am of the view that African values can be dressed up in any poetic garment...' - a collection of poetry notable for its simplicity and directness. The poet is a veteran anti-corruption campaigner.

Download or read book Cape Verde Let s Go written by Derek Pardue and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2015-11-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Musicians rapping in kriolu--a hybrid of Portuguese and West African languages spoken in Cape Verde--have recently emerged from Lisbon's periphery. They popularize the struggles with identity and belonging among young people in a Cape Verdean immigrant community that shares not only the kriolu language but its culture and history. Drawing on fieldwork and archival research in Portugal and Cape Verde, Derek Pardue introduces Lisbon's kriolu rap scene and its role in challenging metropolitan Portuguese identities. Pardue demonstrates that Cape Verde, while relatively small within the Portuguese diaspora, offers valuable lessons about the politics of experience and social agency within a postcolonial context that remains poorly understood. As he argues, knowing more about both Cape Verdeans and the Portuguese invites clearer assessments of the relationship between the experience and policies of migration. That in turn allows us to better gauge citizenship as a balance of individual achievement and cultural ascription. Deftly shifting from domestic to public spaces and from social media to ethnographic theory, Pardue describes an overlooked phenomenon transforming Portugal, one sure to have parallels in former colonial powers across twenty-first-century Europe.

Download or read book Hip Hop in Africa written by Msia Kibona Clark and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-30 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout Africa, artists use hip-hop both to describe their lives and to create shared spaces for uncensored social commentary, feminist challenges to patriarchy, and resistance against state institutions, while at the same time engaging with the global hip-hop community. In Hip-Hop in Africa, Msia Kibona Clark examines some of Africa’s biggest hip-hop scenes and shows how hip-hop helps us understand specifically African narratives of social, political, and economic realities. Clark looks at the use of hip-hop in protest, both as a means of articulating social problems and as a tool for mobilizing listeners around those problems. She also details the spread of hip-hop culture in Africa following its emergence in the United States, assessing the impact of urbanization and demographics on the spread of hip-hop culture. Hip-Hop in Africa is a tribute to a genre and its artists as well as a timely examination that pushes the study of music and diaspora in critical new directions. Accessibly written by one of the foremost experts on African hip-hop, this book will easily find its place in the classroom.
