She is Cuba: A Genealogy of the Mulata Body traces the history of
the Cuban mulata and her association with hips, sensuality and
popular dance. It examines how the mulata choreographs her
racialised identity through her hips and enacts an embodied theory
called hip(g)nosis. By focusing on her living and dancing body in
order to flesh out the process of identity formation, this book
makes a claim for how subaltern bodies negotiate a cultural
identity that continues to mark their bodies on a daily basis.
Combining literary and personal narratives with historical and
theoretical accounts of Cuban popular dance history, religiosity
and culture, this work investigates the power of embodied
exchanges: bodies watching, looking, touching and dancing with one
another. It sets up a genealogy of how the representations and
venerations of the dancing mulata continue to circulate and
participate in the volatile political and social economy of
contemporary Cuba.
