Project Title

You Can’t Buy Me I Don’t Care What You Pay: Music, Musicians, and the Cultural Boycott

Project Description

This project is about the global anti-apartheid movement. I look in particular at the musical artists who chose to violate the cultural boycott. I argue that the artists that violated it under minded the global anti-apartheid struggle.
