Resistance art in South Africa

Product Description 
"Resistance Art" was Sue Williamson’s classic account of the visual art against apartheid. First published in 1989, it soon became a bestseller. Editions were sold in the United States and the UK, and the South African edition sold out within a few years. Because of continuing demand, this landmark work has now been reprinted with a new preface, so as to make the art of the 1980s and 1990's available to a new generation of readers and art lovers. 
 From Library Journal 
The role of art in the liberation struggles of 20th-century Africa has received scant attention from scholars and critics. Yet in a region where the literacy rate is so low, the power of visual images is especially signficant. Williamson has compiled a catalog of South African artists, white and black, whose work speaks to the struggle for freedom and against apartheid. The range of art illustrated includes everything from Western-style easel paintings to public "people's" art in the form of murals, T-shirts, etc. Perhaps most interesting is the artists' commentary, often filled with pain and anger about an unjust and repressive system. Essential for both public and academic libraries.\n- Eugene C. Burt, Seattle

Women have had a profound impact on the choral arts. This groundbreaking volume is a celebration and affirmation of this critical role, both through history and looking into the future, written by thirteen of the most significant voices in the choral profession.Wisdom, Wit, and Will is a refreshing perspective on the choral field, rebutting conventional attitudes toward conducting and gender, and including distinctive biographies of some of the pioneering female choral conductors. But even more importantly, this book is of tremendous value to anyone seeking fresh insights into the choral conducting profession. Divided into three sections Our Music, Our Teaching, and Our Lives this book is about creating the best possible experiences for choral conducting students and choral singe rs. Among just a few examples, Ann Howard Jones discusses Analyzing the Choral-Orchestral Score, Doreen Rao focuses on Feminine Perspectives on Conducting and Teaching Choral Music, and Hilary Apfelstadt enlightens us about Finding Balance: Professional and Personal. This book also includes concise presentations of the score preparation techniques of Robert Shaw, Margaret Hillis, Nadia Boulanger, and many others. What do women want? They want the same things men want, or should want: exciting musical performances, sensitivity to text, attention to sound learning strategies in rehearsal, solid vocal technique, knowledge of the score, and more. Wisdom, Wit, and Will is a wonderful resource for anyone who aspires to develop his or her role as a professional and artistic choral conductor and teacher.
