The Groovology of White Affect “This book is an example of ‘New South African’ scholarship of the very best kind. 

It is the fi rst academic study of boeremusiek, and it invitingly opens signif i cant new channels for our understanding of white racism, both locally and internationally.”

—Christopher Ballantine, LG Joel Professor of Music Emeritus, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa “Out of the convenient closet of academic avoidance comes Willemien Froneman’s bold groovological theorization of white musical pleasure and boeremusiek’s racialized technologies of affect. The result is a wonderful contribution to South African music history, to engaged theories of whiteness and racial formation, and to contemporary research on indexicalities of language and musical practice.”

—Steven Feld, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Music, University of New Mexico, New Mexico, US
