  • Product Description

    In 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, investigates recreational activities from football and fashion to music, dance and night life. In it, she brings out the way in which these activities built social networks, humanized daily life and forged new identities, and explains how they ultimately helped to connect older traditions and values with new cultural forms.
