- Summary
- "Examines the impact of new media (such as video and YouTube) and the use of multi-media on live and recorded performance in Africa. Includes contributions on dance; popular video, with an emphasis on video drama and soaps from Eastern and Southern Africa, and the Nigerian 'Nollywood' phenomenon; the interface between live performance and video (or still photography), and links between on-line social networks and new performance identities. As a group the articles raise, from original angles, the issues of racism, gender, identity, advocacy and sponsorship."--Cover p. [4].
