Daniel B. Reed integrates individual stories with the study of
performance to understand the forces of diaspora and mobility in
the lives of musicians, dancers, and mask performers originally
from Cote d'Ivoire who now live in the United States. Through the
lives of four Ivorian performers, Reed finds that dance and music,
being transportable media, serve as effective ways to understand
individual migrants in the world today. As members of an immigrant
community who are geographically dispersed, these performers are
unmoored from their place of origin and yet deeply engaged in
presenting their symbolic roots to North American audiences. By
looking at performance, Reed shows how translocation has led to
transformations on stage, but he is also sensitive to how
performance acts as a way to reinforce and maintain community.
Abidjan USA provides a multifaceted view of community that is at
once local, national, and international, and where identity is
central, but transportable, fluid, and adaptable.
