High societyIn this book, Phyllis Martin, a well-known Africanist scholar, opens up a whole new field of African research: the leisure activities of urban Africans. Her comprehensive study, set in colonial Brazzaville and based on a wide variety of written sources and interviews, investigates recreational activities from football and fashion to music, dance and night life. In it, she brings out the ways in which these activities built social networks, humanised daily life and forged new identities, and explains how they ultimately helped to remake older traditions and values with new cultural forms.African studies series ;87.Leisure & Society in Colonial BrazzavilleLeisureCongo (Brazzaville)HistoryCongo (Brazzaville)Social life and customsLeisureHistory.790/.01/35/096724Martin Phyllis243652UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996247917103316Leisure and society in colonial Brazzaville2366593UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
