Book Summary
"The Popular and the Public" brings together a range of international scholars
to examine how popular culture has shaped the public sphere, providing an
alternative space for political debate in 19th and 20th Century India, Africa
and Europe. A diverse range of case studies include: competition between
Christians, Muslims and Traditionalists within public culture in Nigeria;
popular music and songs of war and peace in Uganda; Battala chap-books, popular
painting and battles over urban space in Calcutta; Islamic festivals and moral
debates around AIDS and crime in post-apartheid South Africa; Danish
orientalism; nationalist journalism in Kenya; and notions of 'miraculous
literacy' among Evangelical Christians in Africa.
