""Remixing Race after Apartheid is a beautifully written ethnography balancing multiple perspectives on carnival and community-building among the 'coloured' population in South Africa's Kaapse klopse. Inglese's skillful synthesis explores the understanding (and misunderstanding) of race and identity in local and global contexts.""--Noel Lobley, author of Sound Fragments: From Field Recording to African Electronic Stories

An important and highly original study that both elucidates ways in which the Carnival music lends meaning and value to its local community while creatively challenging binary views of music and race.""--Kay Kaufman Shelemay, G.
