Hip Hop dance, meanings and messages.
Author: Huntington, Carla Stalling Published: 2007 Tracing the African American dance from the Diaspora to the dance floor, this book covers a social history germane not only to the African American experience, but also to the global experience of labourers who learn lessons from hip hop dance. Examining hip hop dance as text, as commentary, and as a function of identity construction within the confines of consumerism, Ms Huntington draws on popular cultural images from films, commercials, and dance studios. A bibliography, discography, and filmography are included. |
