Dancing Bahia (eBook, ePUB)

Essays on Afro-Brazilian Dance, Education, Memory, and Race
Redaktion: Suarez, Lucia M.; Daniel, Yvonne; Conrado, Amélia

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Dancing Bahia is an edited collection that draws together the work of leading scholars, artists and dance activists from Brazil, Canada and the United States to examine the particular ways in which dance has responded to sociopolitical notions of race and community, resisting stereotypes, and redefining African Diaspora and Afro-Brazilian traditions.

Using the Brazilian city of Salvador da Bahia as its focal point, this volume brings to the fore questions of citizenship, human rights and community building. The essays within are informed by both theory and practice, as well as black activism that inspires and grounds the research, teaching and creative output of dance professionals from, or deeply connected to, Bahia.
