Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of copyright law and the South African music industry, this book examines the challenges faced during the post-apartheid reform of intellectual property. It highlights how structural racism and outdated Euro-modernist views complicate efforts for redistributive justice. Through various case studies, including the legal battle over Solomon Linda's "Mbube," the narrative reveals the deep connections between copyright, race, popular music, and indigenous rights, illustrating the ongoing struggle for equity in a postcolonial context.
