In this book, Gavin Steingo examines kwaito as it has developed alongside the democratization of South Africa over the past two decades. Tracking the fall of South African hope into the disenchantment that often characterizes the outlook of its youth today - who face high unemployment, extreme inequality, and widespread crime--Steingo looks to kwaito as a powerful tool that paradoxically engages South Africa's crucial social and political problems by, in fact, seeming to ignore them. Politicians and cultural critics have long criticized kwaito for failing to provide any meaningful contribution to a society that desperately needs direction. As Steingo shows, however, these criticisms are built on problematic assumptions about the political function of music. Interacting with kwaito artists and fans, he shows that youth aren't escaping their social condition through kwaito but rather using it to expand their sensory realities and generate new possibilities. Resisting the truism that "music is always political," Steingo elucidates a music that thrives on its its radically ambiguous relationship with politics, power, and the state"--Publisher's website. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 1994-|2fast 648 7 Since 1994|2fast 650 0 Kwaito (Music)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2001007802|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00002758 650 0 Kwaito (Music)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2001007802|xPhilosophy and aesthetics.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2014002232 650 0 Kwaito (Music)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2001007802|xPolitical aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh00005651 650 0 Musicians, Black|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85089036|zSouth Africa.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79023005-781 650 7 Kwaito (Music)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/989512 650 7 Social aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1354981 650 7 Musicians, Black.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1030887 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 MUSIC|xInstruction & Study|xTheory.|2bisacsh 650 7 Politik.|2gnd 650 7 Musik.|2gnd 650 7 Kwaito.|2gnd 651 0 South Africa|xSocial conditions|y1994-|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh00004238 651 7 South Africa.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204616 651 7 Südafrika.|2gnd 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSteingo, Gavin.|tKwaito's promise. |dChicago ; London : The University of Chicago Press, 2016 |z9780226362403|w(DLC) 2015035019|w(OCoLC)920017574 830 0 Chicago studies in ethnomusicology.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n88539613 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1180832|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
