Together, they had created ‘Mannenberg’, a song that quickly became a national and international hit.” John Edwin Mason is the author of Social Death and Resurrection: Slavery and Emancipation in South Africa and many articles on South African jazz. He is pursuing two multi-year documentary photography projects, one on drag racing in the American South and the other on the New Year Carnival in Cape Town. He is also a member of the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra.   8.8 x 12.5 cm | 64 pages | softcover      About the publisher: “Chimurenganyana is a series of solos culled from Chimurenga, a pan African publication of writing, art and politics based in Cape Town.”   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46630510297242,"sku":"12481","price":150.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/5704\/1545\/files\/SKM_C55825091815591.jpg?v=1759575181","url":"https:\/\/store.a4arts.org\/en-gb\/products\/the-making-of-mannenburg","provider":"A4 Arts Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
