This research is being conducted by Dr Annemie Stimie Behr at the University of South Africa (UNISA).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Jewish history in South Africa is generally linked to the careers and legacies of individuals<\/em>. Political role-players include Joe Slovo<\/a> and Helen Suzman<\/a>, while cultural personages include Nadine Gordimer<\/a> and Irma Stern<\/a>. With the exception of Johnny Clegg<\/a>, few Jewish music figures enjoy the same recognition bestowed on their political and literary counterparts, despite their active participation in South Africa\u2019s musical life. My research is arguably the first that seeks to uncover musical meanings of the Jewish community as a cultural group<\/em>, thus departing from this generalized focus on Jewish individuals as metonyms for Jewish history. In this way, I am giving voice to a silent history<\/a>.<\/p>\n The research started as a PhD-project, which I conducted at Stellenbosch University between 2015 and 2019. A by-product of the PhD project is a database of music reportage that is currently available on Stellenbosch University\u2019s digital repository and that is compiled in collaboration with the National Library of South Africa. The objective of this database-project is to create an inclusive and wide-reaching digital archive of South African Jewish writing about music during the twentieth century. At present, the database houses 4964 music-related items that appear in the South African Jewish Chronicle<\/em> and the Zionist Record<\/em> newspaper publications of between 1905 and 1948.<\/p>\n
