But set against this \"day for the hunter\" has been a \"day for the prey,\" a history of resistance, and sometimes of triumph. With keen cultural and historical awareness, Gage Averill shows that Haiti's vibrant and expressive music has been one of the most highly charged instruments in this struggle-one in which power, politics, and resistance are inextricably fused. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Averill explores such diverse genres as Haitian jazz, troubadour traditions, Vodou-jazz, \u003ci\u003ekonpa, mini-djaz, \u003c\/i\u003e new generation, and roots music. He examines the complex interaction of music with power in contexts such as honorific rituals, sponsored street celebrations, Carnival, and social movements that span the political spectrum. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With firsthand accounts by musicians, photos, song texts, and ethnographic descriptions, this book explores the profound manifestations of power and song in the day-to-day efforts of ordinary Haitians to rise above political repression.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.04 x 9.06 x 6.06 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 08, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45259367710822,"sku":"9780226032924","price":81.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/bjRreGl5eTBIRmdIbktzdUtTdEpNQT09.webp?v=1773841836","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/a-day-for-the-hunter-a-day-for-the-prey-popular-music-and-power-in-haiti-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
