Through an ethnomusicological perspective, Huntington argues in Sounding Off that the range of sounds -footsteps, heartbeats, drumbeats-represented in West African and Caribbean works provides a rhythmic polyphony that creates spaces for configuring social and cultural identities.Hunti 410 0$aAfrican Soundscapes 606 $aAfrican fiction (French)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCaribbean fiction (French)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSounds in literature 606 $aRhythm in literature 606 $aMusic in literature 606 $aGroup identity in literature 615 0$aAfrican fiction (French)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCaribbean fiction (French)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSounds in literature. 615 0$aRhythm in literature. 615 0$aMusic in literature. 615 0$aGroup identity in literature. 676 $a840.9/35780966 700 $aHuntington$b Julie Anne$0975064 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455260803321 996 $aSounding off$92220214 997 $aUNINA
