The Legacy of Tanzanian Musicians Muhidin Gurumo and Hassan Bitchuka
Since the late 1990s, biographies of African artists have become more common within academic presses.

Digital Repatriation

This chapter examines conflicts that can occur with this action, including those involving copyright law, fair u…
