The Black Dance Anthology
Cognella, Inc (Verlag)
978-1-7935-4639-5 (ISBN)
The Black Dance Anthology provides students with an engaging and enlightening collection of articles that introduce them to various topics related to Black life and the world of dance.
The interactive ebook format allows students to read the text of each reading and engage with digital learning activities throughout—including chapter quizzes and an assignment that challenges students to watch provided videos and analyze dance-related performances—all within a single system.
The text features 19 readings that explore a plethora of topics, including African influence on American dance, the legacies of Black women's achievements in American dance, issues related to race and racism in artistic communities, the objectification of the Black male dancer physique, and the ways in which social dancing links African Americans to their African past more strongly than any other aspect of their culture. Additional readings explore West African drumming and dance in North America, the world of Black ballet, appropriation, hip-hop dance, traditional American Indian dances, and more.
Designed to fill a gap in the current literature, The Black Dance Anthology is an ideal interactive resource for courses and programs in dance and the performing arts.
