dc.description	Print and electronic media have had profound transformative effects in African culture. Nor is this a recent result of late twentieth-century global flows. For more than 100 years, virtually all new popular cultural forms in Africa have been shaped by techniques and conceptions drawn from the media; while older oral genres have been subtly but definitively recast as they have been drawn into new performance spaces on the airwaves or in print. Most of what is now regarded as ‘popular’ – as distinct from ‘traditional’ – in African culture (see Barber 1987, 1997) was forged in colonial and postcolonial contexts deeply entwined with print, film, radio and later television and video. Most of what is regarded as ‘traditional’ has been in one way or another touched by these media too.	-
