Product Description
Review
"Karin Barber has given us a vivid picture of one of the most vital forms of modern African popular art. It is beautifully written and informed by a deep affection for the subject ... a major contribution to the cultural history of Nigeria." --J. D. Y. Peel " ... a fine-grained history (and ethnography) of a dramatic troupe providing an everyday, empirical sense of what is involved in the production of a popular cultural form... a magisterial contribution to African popular culture more widely." --Brian Larkin
