It provides a broad overview of music emanating from different cultural practices in Namibia, and relates this to the State’s political strategies for ensuring unity and nation-building through policy-making, education and broadcast media. The changes that occur in musical practices are seen as strategic cultural choices and ongoing identity-formation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nordic Africa Institute, The","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49788727853296,"sku":"9789171065100","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789171065100","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
