Sonic Spaces of the Karoo by Marie Jorritsma
A groundbreaking study of music in an ethnically marginalized South African community
Marie Jorritsma's book signals nothing less than a whole new departure in South African musical studiesIt is the first serious attempt to account for the role of 'coloured' music in the country's wider acoustic landscape. This has never been tried before. Sonic Spaces of the Karoo is written in an accessible style, it is theoretically grounded, and it is rich in ethnographic description. I highly recommend it.
