This book is a compilation of essays by distinguished writers,
critics and artists in the field of Dance and African American
Studies who address several areas and disciplines of African dance
both on the continent and in the diaspora. Sir Rex Nettleford, the
distinguished Jamaican choreographer, professor and writer,
stresses in the foreword to the book, the continuity between all
dances that derive from Africa and the significance of this book.
African dance, he argues, is a dominant, pervasive and empowering
force in African communities.
The four themes covered are tradition, tradition and continuity,
tradition transformed, and tradition contextualized. African,
Brazilian, Caribbean and African American scholars each focus on
some aspect of African dance that provide the connecting patterns.
Besides Sir Rex Nettleford, other contributors to this book include
Pearl Primus, Maware Opoku, Katrina Hazzard-Gordon, Myriam Evelyse
Mariani, Cynthia S'thembile West and Omofolabo Soyinka Ajayi.
