THE SOUNDS OF SOUTH AFRICA-Confronting the end of Apartheid and the beginning of AIDS covers the years 1988 to 1992, when the country is in uncertain transition out of Apartheid and the author also personally experiences the AIDS crisis. Flashbacks reveal incidents in previous years, when Pieter becomes the author's life partner. The story includes Pieter's spiritual growth and its influence on the author. During his first visit to Pieter from New York in 1980, the author hopes to hear the sounds of African animals and birds. Later, other sounds occur. Gunfire erupts from the street below their apartment. In 1988, Pieter tests positive for HIV. They expect him to live several years and be saved by new drugs. Pieter is well, and he continues his job with South African Airways as Chief Steward. The author's contacts from New York in theatrical work result in interesting contracts. They are optimistic and deny a tragic future. They return to the author's apartment in New York for Christmas. Violence increases in South Africa. With the economy failing, they experience financial difficulties. The author goes back to work in New York for two months and learns more about the AIDS crisis. Pieter becomes seriously ill, but he survives. He is determined to continue working, although the airline refuses to let him fly and demotes him to an office job, with reduced salary. His case is the first to overturn that ruling. His full salary is restored. In 1990, the political situation gets worse. Nelson Mandela is released from prison. Violence escalates. Pieter experiences a bombing at the airport, and a car bomb explodes near the author's theatre. Their future is uncertain. Pieter becomes weaker. Three contracts give the author some financial stability. The contracts are completed and he devotes his time to caring for Pieter at home, which they both desire. With no assistance from Pieter's family, the author hires an aide to help him until Pieter's death. A final contract, friends, and a therapist help him cope. Pieter's estate, sale of the apartment and official documents are difficult because government offices are in chaos. Finally, the move back to New York City is completed, and the author is with good friends and in his apartment with their two cats from South Africa.

For students of world music and world cultures, this authoritative work provides an in-depth survey of the full spectrum of black and white South African music. In 1986, Paul Simon's Graceland introduced millions to the sounds of South Africa. But Simon's album explores only a few of the many types of music originating within South Africa's border's a musical culture that epitomizes the enormous ethnic, religious, linguistic, class and gender diversity of the nation itself. The author looks at how South Africans (black and white) have used music to express a sense of place in South Africa, on the African continent, and around the world. Drawing on extensive field and archival research, as well as her own personal experiences, noted ethnomusicologist and South African native Carol A. Muller explores the range of sources that make music from South Africa related to, yet so distinct from, other music from the African continent and around the world. The accompanying CD offers vividexamples of traditional, popular, and classical South African musical styles.

Queer Word And World Making In South Africa written by Taylor Riley and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2021-05-03 with Religion categories.

Focusing on everyday experiences of sexuality in the South African province of KwaZulu-Natal, this book considers personal narratives and other queer artefacts to shed light on linguistic and performative strategies of resistance, referred to as queer word- and world-making. Questions of non-normative expressions of gender and sexuality in South Africa refer to the politics of words, and to their contested meanings and valuations reflected in the way that they roll off tongues. If sexualities are not merely acts, feelings, or identities, but embodiments of desires which invoke and influence social contexts, assumptions about sexuality as a realm of situated knowledge cannot be trusted at face-value. Taylor Riley considers the meanings coded in words used to depict same-sexualities and the productive silences which surround them, and how those meanings are embraced, altered, and resisted through labors of everyday existence. The volume sheds new light on and personalizes the highly contested meanings which surround queer life and LGBTI rights in South Africa. It will be of interest to scholars and upper-level students of anthropology, queer studies and African studies.
