Abstract
- The paper situates Zulu ngoma song and dance within the related worlds of state and gender politics in post-apartheid South Africa. It poses as its problem the difficulty of retaining the presence of individualized expression and stylized body movement in an analysis that also situates "the body" politically and theorizes it phenomenologically. In the midst of unemployment, an AIDS epidemic and a history of violence in rural KwaZulu-Natal, ngoma is a critical means to attaining responsible manhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
