Urging us to hear the resonance of Afro-Diasporic polyrhythms across multiple tempos of resistance, accommodation, creolization, and transculturation, Njoroge M. Njoroge puts music right in the center of critical historical analysis. Entangling key lineages of theory from Marxism to phenomenology, his way of listening provides a sustained argument for an audible politics of blackness.
Njoroge M. Njoroge is associate professor in the Department of History at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. He works on musics of the African diaspora, Caribbean and Latin American history, Marxism, and critical theory.
