 Dancing many drums: excavations in African American dance.
Author: DeFrantz, Thomas F Published: 2001 Few will dispute the profound influence that African American music and movement has had in American and world culture. 'Dancing many drums' explores that influence through a groundbreaking collection of essays on African American dance history, theory, and practice. In so doing, it re-evaluates 'black' and 'African' as both racial and dance categories. Contributors include P. Sterling Stuckey, Nadine A. George, Marya Annette McQuirter, Richard C. Green, Marica E. Heard, Mansa K. Mussa, Sally Banes, Maureen Needham, and Brenda Dixon Gottschild, and there are more than 70 black and white illustrations. |
