Description

Caribbean and Atlantic Diaspora Dance: Igniting Citizenship explores the cultural and historical context of diaspora dance genres in the Caribbean and beyond. Yvonne Daniel examines the relationships between African, Caribbean, and other dances, tracing the evolution of social dances brought to the islands by Europeans and Africans, as well as popular styles that emerged later. Daniel draws on scores of performers and consultants from the region, combining her own professional dance experience with a nuanced understanding of cultural and economic globalization. This insightful study connects local practices to transnational and global processes, highlighting the significant role of dance in regional tourism and identity formation. Through its comprehensive analysis, Caribbean and Atlantic Diaspora Dance sheds light on the complex dynamics shaping diasporic cultures and the ways in which dance reflects and influences these communities.
