Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

African dance is discussed here in its global as well as local
contexts as a powerful vehicle of aesthetic and cultural exchange
and influence. To date, scholars have tended, with a few
exceptions, to write about African dance in primarily ethnographic
terms. This collection seeks to challenge this pattern and expand
dance research by engaging with the aesthetics and socio-political
impact of dance for communities in and out of Africa in an
increasingly global context. Contributors to this issue look at the
impact that specifically situated indigenous dance forms have had
on the development of newforms locally, and the reciprocal impact
of local and international infrastructures, including funding
bodies, tourism and festivals. African Theatre 17 examines how
dance is contributing to a particularly African interculturalism,
while analysing the issues of representation of Africa in a
postcolonial context. Articles address the efficacy of dance to
engage audiences with disavowed issues regarding gender, sexuality
and dis/ability both within and beyond Africa. Highlights include a
dance photo essay on F.O.D. Gang's 2017 site-specific street
performance "Untitled" in Lagos, a new non-themed section, and the
playscript Lunatic! by Zimbabwean playwright Thoko Zulu. Volume
