Description

Africa Every Day is a multidisciplinary and accessible counterpoint to the prevailing emphasis on war, poverty, corruption, and other challenges on the continent. Essays address creative and dynamic elements of daily life without romanticizing them, showing that African leisure and popular culture are the product of dynamism and adaptation. Review "Written clearly with a refreshing lack of academic rhetoric, these vignettes outline experiences of daily life relating to sports, media, friendship, love, and labor. A welcome contribution. Recommended.--Choice "With its snapshots of a dazzling variety of everyday activities--sports, social media, music, moviegoing, sex and romance, and the use of public spaces are just a few--this bright and readable collection sets out to provide an antidote to the prevailing depiction of Africa as a scene of unmitigated deprivation, disorder, and despair. It will easily intrigue readers who are not African studies specialists, as well as Africanists in a wide range of disciplines (anthropology, politics, cultural studies, history, literature, development studies)."--Karin Barber, author of A History of African Popular Culture About the Author Oluwakemi M.
