It shows the relevance of the musical and poetic genius of Eastern Cape South African performers. The book moves from the past, the impact of colonialism, the amaXhosa cattle-killing of 1857 through to apartheid and the era of democracy from 1994. It includes reference to the recent impact of COVID-19 on Eastern Cape performers' creativity. At the heart of the book is how South Africa's voice of protest is represented in the genres of the oral word - musical and poetic. This is portrayed against a socio-political backdrop. This link between past and present is done with the full appreciation of the creative spirit and history of the Eastern Cape region. The book is indeed a spiritual journey that connects one with the language and culture of the amaXhosa, emphasizing the importance of creativity in the lived experiences of this community, both through a historical and contemporary lens. -- Russell H. Kaschula, University of the Western Cape Author InformationLindsay Michie is associate professor of history and co-chair of the Africana Studies Department at the University of Lynchburg.
