- Description
- Bodies in motion, bodies in space, performing bodies, bodies enunciating a new political order: these are the subjects thrown into sharp relief in Xavier Livermon’s Kwaito Bodies: Mastering Space and Subjectivity in Post-Apartheid South Africa. An important contribution in a time when the Black body has (re)gained significant attention across the world, the book provides a visceral investigation into Black youth culture in postapartheid South Africa. In particular, it focuses on kwaito, a genre of music which came to define the early post-apartheid cultural imaginary, as a mediator of the Black body and draws on fifteen years of immersive ethnographic research in the country.
