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. 410 0$aAfrican studies series ;$v87. 517 3 $aLeisure & Society in Colonial Brazzaville 606 $aLeisure$zCongo (Brazzaville)$xHistory 607 $aCongo (Brazzaville)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aLeisure$xHistory. 676 $a790/.01/35/096724 700 $aMartin$b Phyllis$0243652 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247917103316 996 $aLeisure and society in colonial Brazzaville$92366593 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
