Reviews
This is one of the best books to have emerged from South African musicology in the last decade... It opens up a new level of discourse about music during the apartheid era: a level on which the theoretical, the ethical, the historical and the aesthetic play against each other in newly meaningful ways.

Synopsis
Composing Apartheid explores how music was produced through, and provided key features of apartheid's social and political topography, and how music and musicians contested and helped to conquer apartheid. These essays include historians, sociologists and anthropologists, as well as ethnomusicologists, music theorists and historical musicologists, The first book to look at the role of music during the apartheid Composing Apartheid is the first book ever to chart the musical world of a notorious period in world history, apartheid South Africa. It explores how music was produced through, and was productive of, key features of apartheid's social and political topography, as well as how music and musicians contested and even helped to conquer apartheid. The collection of essays is intentionally broad, and the contributors include historians, sociologists and anthropologists, as well as ethnomusicologists, music theorists and historical musicologists. The essays focus on a variety of music (jazz, music in the Western art tradition, popular music) and on major composers (such as Kevin Volans) and works (Handel's Messiah). Musical institutions and previously little-researched performers (such as the African National Congress's troupe-in-exile, Amandla) are explored. The writers move well beyond their subject matter, intervening in debates on race, historiography, and postcolonial epistemologies and pedagogies., Composing Apartheid is the first book ever to chart the musical world of a notorious period in world history, apartheid South Africa.
