Hi. I know that some South Africans have read the book but I don’t know about distributors. If I ignored those South African musicians, some of whom I’m aware of, it was for reasons of space and narrative clarity and not because I didn’t respect their contributions. In a chapter which focussed on the Special AKA, the apartheid boycott, Hugh Masekela and Miriam Makeba, among others, there just wasn’t room to do justice to all of the different stories in South African music.

Dear Dorian – I would like to get your 33RPM for 3rd Ear Music’s Hidden Years Music Archive Project (HYMAProject) in South Africa. Is there a South African distributor? Importing would be too costly; I’m certain that the few other music archives in the RSA (such as they may be) and perhaps the Universities, would like copies? (A friend loaned me a library copy from the South Coast kwaZuluNatal, Umzumbe / South Port, of all places.)

Here’s my comment (Classically ignored, for what it’s worth?) Despite your well written and riveting research (we are still ploughing thru’ it – with admiration for what you’ve done here), the big BUT remains: I’m surprised that researchers continue – in this digital age – to avoid or ignore (so-called) popular (SAfrican) musicians who, under apartheid did indeed compose, record and perform (so-called) protest songs, often at the expense of their own careers.

No, you’ve describe politeness, not identity politics.

It’s easy to glibly dismiss it, but the divisive cul de sac that it identity politics has done about as much damage as anything on the right has to the very causes it claims to advance.

This article is all just so reasonable and as a result it’s almost shocking. I’m sure I’m not the only one who followed this debacle, read the articles and the comments and did not add anything at all. For me, it was about what you put so clearly in this article – the screeching and inflammatory tone that are off-putting/terrifying.

I really wish WordPress had an option to share to Tumblr because a lot of the SJ bloggers are incredibly intolerant (part of the “Check your privilege” cacophany) to the detriment of using their forum to increase understanding of the issues they claim to cherish. I really wish they would read this and take it to heart.

(And let’s face it, any article that starts with a Watchmen reference is already a winner.)

She was about 15 then, wasn’t she? Teenagers can be a bit over-passionate and superior especially if they have bagged a music press and then tv job.
