  In Africa, tension between freedom of expression and censorship remains as contentious, if not more so, during the period of colonial rule. This book presents research on censorship in colonial and post-colonial Africa, focusing on the attempts to censor musicians and the resistance strategies devised by musicians in their struggles to be heard.
