| Sommario/riassunto: | Sonic Spaces of the Karoo is a pioneering study of the sacred music of three coloured (the apartheid designation for people ""not white or native"") people's church congregations in the rural town of Graaff-Reinet, South Africa. Jorritsma's fieldwork involves an investigation of the choruses, choir music, and hymns of the Karoo region to present a history of the people's traditional, religious, and cultural identity in song. This music is examined as part of a living archive preserved by the community in the face of a legacy of slavery and colonial as well as apartheid oppressio |
