Music, Culture, and the Politics of Health is an ethnographic work that explores the social, cultural, and political dynamics that impinge upon the HIV/AIDS discourse in South Africa and how they find expression in music. The book reveals the interconnections of the local and global culture and politics of HIV/AIDS.
This book is an ethnographic study of a HIV/AIDS choir who use music to articulate their individual and collective experiences of the disease. The study interrogates as to understand the bigger picture of HIV/AIDS using the approach of microanalysis of music event. It places the choir, and the cultural and political issues addressed in their music in the broader context of South Africa’s public health and political history, and the global culture and politics of AIDS.
