The Dance of Politics: Gender, Performance, and Democratization in Malawi - African Soundscapes
Lisa Gilman
Election campaigns, political events, and national celebration days in Malawi usually feature groups of women who dance and perform songs of praise for politicians and political parties. This book explains that 'praise performing' is one of the only ways that women are allowed to participate in a male-dominated political system.
