Books
'Urban Legends, Colonial Myths' examines popular media, ranging from inscriptions on taxis to cartoon strips and fictive columns in newspapers. It locates the verve of vernacular discourses as the dominant factor in the artist's creative genius, while pointing out how this music has melded with external influences.
