Populere Afrikaanse musiekkunstenaars het sover goed gedoen in post'apartheid Suid-Afrika en geniet die entoesiastiese ondersteuning van lojale volgelinge. Hierdie ondersteuning word aangevuur deur 'n komplekse stel emosies wat verband hou daarmee "e;om Afrikaans te wees"e; in 'n kultureel pluralistiese samelewing. In Plate en Politiek ondersoek Van der Merwe die interaksie tussen populere musiek en die ontvouing van 'n Afrikaanse kultuurpolitiek vanaf die begin van die twintigste eeu tot die hede. Dit sluit 'n soektog in na die eerste opgeneemde Afrikaanse liedere en dokumenteer die daaropvolgende fases van musiekontwikkeling wat die agentskap van ordinere mense - kunstenaar en luisteraar - weerspieel teen die agtergrond van fundamentele sosiale en politieke verandering. Dit besin oor beide die musiekhoofstroom en meer alternatiewe musiek, en ontbloot onder andere, historiese voorbeelde van die akkommodering van, en verset teen, die meesternarratief van die Afrikanernasionalistiese ideologie, pogings van kulturele entrepreneurs om beheer uit te oefen oor populere Afrikaanse kultuur, klassespanning, blywende rasse-eksklusiwiteit, protes en sensuur, en die post'apartheid oproeping van Afrikaner nostalgie en wit slagofferskap. Uiteindelik bied Plate en Politiek 'n on-onderbroke weergawe van , en 'n kritiese blik op, meer as 'n eeu van opgeneemde Afrikaanse musiek.
