It explores larger questions of complicity, compromise, and compliance; of assimilation, appropriation, and race; and of \"European art music\" in situations of \"non-European\" dispossession and disenfranchisement. Performing under the auspices of apartheid, the group's unquestioned acceptance of and commitment to the art of opera could not redeem it from the entanglements that came with the political compromises it made. Uncovering a rich trove of primary source materials, Hilde Roos presents here for the first time the story of one of the premier cultural agencies of apartheid South Africa. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilde Roos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520299892\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520299894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Hilde Roos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48457685893375,"sku":"9780520299894","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6da25215-fa9e-46bd-aaea-714d448c2232.jpg?v=1777400470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-la-traviata-affair-hilde-roos-9780520299894","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
