The book dedicates itself to research in music and dance, while engaging with colonial and contemporary political and historical realities within the Eastern African region. Inevitably, themes that grapple with urbanization and the emergence of urban spaces for entertainment, as well as the imagination of culture by the colonialist form a key window into the research and understanding of music and dance. The ever-present performance of ethnic identities that shape most of our socio-political contexts adds to the overall texture of this book. At the same time, the debate and question of gender in music and dance is also comprehensively covered, in an attempt to delineate gender relations in the region. Articles that employ a cross-genre approach to music and dance have enriched the wide perspective of understanding African societies and the realities that emanate from everyday lives in Eastern Africa. A useful addition to the growing literature of popular culture in Africa, this book takes a multidisciplinary angle and can easily fit within the disciplines of political science, urban studies, literature, sociology and media studies. The book contributes to the recurrent dialogue towards emphasizing the relevance of the study of songs and dances in a larger context within humanities and social sciences. 606 $aMusic 606 $aDance 606 $amusic 606 $agender 606 $adance 606 $asocial change 610 $amusic 610 $agender 610 $adance 610 $asocial change 615 4$aMusic 615 4$aDance 615 4$amusic 615 4$agender 615 4$adance 615 4$asocial change 700 $aBrinkman$b Inge$0699431 701 $aHassan$b Kenedid A$01293202 701 $aKiiru$b Kahithe$01293203 701 $aKochore$b Hassan H$01293204 701 $aM?tonya$b Maina wa$01293205 701 $aNg?weno$b Bettina$01293206 701 $aNjogu$b Kimani$01096185 701 $aOmenya$b Gordon Onyango$01293207 701 $aPommerolle$b Marie-Emmanuelle$01293208 701 $aWoolner$b Christina J$01293209 701 $aKiiru$b Kahithe$01293203 701 $awa M?tonya$b Maina$01108762 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910496010703321 996 $aMusic and Dance in Eastern Africa$93022517 997 $aUNINA
