About This Item
Bloomington: Indiana University Press. 2014. Hardcover. New; unopened, shrink-wrapped/New. Published after the "Women's Songs from West Africa" conference at Princeton University in 2003, this is a collection of 17 scholarly essays each describing a different women's song tradition in the region. As Katherine Stuffelbeam writes for the Ethnomusicology Review, this book is "a valuable resource for scholars interested in West African music, and represents a remarkable achievement. Authors included in the collection come from a variety of disciplines including African studies, anthropology, comparative literature, language, sociology, and others. Each scholar offers their own perspectives on a wide range of cultures and topics related to women's songs in the Sahel. Essay collections like this are extremely valuable....this collection represents decades of research by seventeen individuals dedicated to highlighting the importance of women's voices, their struggles with patriarchy, and their lived experiences in West Africa." An unusual but relevant book, in new condition and shrink-wrapped.
