Abstract

This hybrid dissertation (with a written and creative video component) uses Singeli (popular music and cultural practice) as a site to meditate on the everyday lives of Black people in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Furthermore, this dissertation focuses on how Black people are reimagining themselves as modern subjects, shifting culture and identity in a manner that expands notions of freedom and liberation.
