Role of the Artist in Society
24 Interviews from South Africa
Introduction
This unique interview book stems from the days when South Africa's notorious Apartheid regime collapsed. It was written in January of 1988 and I present the talks as they were recorded then. It brought me straight into the heart of the cultural resistance while simultaneously revising anthropological research, too.
Content and Focus
I looked at the contribution the Arts could play in terminating racial segregation and asked respondents if they would use their creative activity in this regard rather than practicing Art-for-Arts-sake?
Additional Features
The book includes a detailed bibliography, a comprehensive set of footnotes, and a black and white photo of respondents.
