This book describes continuities and changes in the political signifcance of jeliw, praise singers, in Mali woh performed crucial tasks of reputation management on behalf of their noble patrons in the nineteenth century. It is a case study of the effects and limitation of a mode of legitimation, and of its transformation in a changing institutional context. The performances of jeli musicians on broadcast media are taken as a starting point to illuminate two aspects of state formation in Africa: the emergence of a public domain established by broadcast media, and the creation of a national culture.Because their music is predominantly displayed in the public domain established by the national radio, jeli singers sustain the homogenizing effects of the governmental politics of culture. But their music also serves listeners from the south as a medium to assert the particularity of their local tradition in a multicultural nation state.

这本书描述了连续性和变化的政治意义jeliw，赞美歌手，在马里woh执行至关重要的任务，声誉管理代表他们的高贵赞助人在十九世纪。这是一个案例研究的合法化模式的影响和限制，以及它的转变在不断变化的制度背景。本文以耶里音乐家在广播媒体上的表演为切入点，阐明非洲国家形成的两个方面：广播媒体建立的公共领域的出现和民族文化的创造。由于耶里歌手的音乐主要在国家广播电台建立的公共领域中展示，因此耶里歌手维持了政府文化政治的影响力。但他们的音乐也为来自南方的听众提供了一种媒介，在一个多元文化的民族国家中维护他们当地传统的特殊性。
