It explores the histories and afterlives of sound collections and practices at the International Library of African Music. \u003ci\u003eSound Fragments\u003c\/i\u003e follows what happens when a colonial sound archive is repurposed and reimagined by local artists in post-apartheid South Africa. The narrative speaks to larger issues in sound studies, curatorial practices, and the reciprocity and ethics of listening to and reclaiming culture. Sound Fragments interrogates how Xhosa arts activism contributes to an expanding notion of what a sound or cultural archive could be, and where it may resonate now and in future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wesleyan University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47572652064919,"sku":"9780819580764","price":9928.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780819580764.webp?v=1774890677","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sound-fragments-from-field-recording-to-african-electronic-stories-9780819580764","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
