This book is a groundbreaking study of the history, race, and agency of African diaspora dance. It is the first book to examine the role of dance in the African diaspora, and it offers a new perspective on the ways in which dance has been used to express cultural identity, negotiate racial difference, and create social change.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of African diaspora dance, from its origins in Africa to its development in the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean. The second part examines the ways in which dance has been used to express cultural identity and negotiate racial difference. The third part explores the ways in which dance has been used to create social change.
