{"product_id":"drummies-alice-mann-9781910401668","title":"Drummies","description":"This a long-term project, by South African photographer Alice Mann, explores the unique sport of drum majorettes. The images depict the aspirational subculture surrounding all-female teams of drum majorettes affectionately known as 'Drummies' The sport of drum majorettes has a long history in South Africa, becoming popular in the early 80s, but participation in the sport has since dropped dramatically. In contemporary culture there is a strong sense of nostalgia linked to drum majorettes; it is viewed as the pursuit of a bygone era. However, in many marginalised communities across the country, it is still taken seriously and is considered a highly competitive sport. For the girls and young women involved, being a drummie is a privilege and an achievement, indicative of success on and off the field. The notoriously demanding practice schedules are representative of the girls' commitment, and their ability to work hard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Mann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910401668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910401668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gost Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.70h x 9.70w x 0.70d","brand":"Alice Mann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075138351359,"sku":"9781910401668","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54ae2055-ea84-4161-b175-f6faaffd56ac.jpg?v=1685457820","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drummies-alice-mann-9781910401668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
