Reviews
"Huntington's emphasis on the interconnections of the related arts-music, poetry, fiction, oral tradition etc.-is one of the few to treat systematically, and in a sound, sophisticated theoretical and ethnographic framework, the important traits of African literary, oral and musical productions. Sounding Off will make a great contribution to the interdisciplinary study and thus provide a deeper understanding of musical and literary-artistic productions in African and diasporan communities."
