Description
This book, originally written as a doctoral dissertation at Temple University, describes the theory and pedagogy of the major Black dance artists of the 1930s and 1940s. The most important of these was Katherine Dunham whose thought influenced a large number of 20th century anthropologists and sociologists. Dr. Sherrods book is important not merely because it recovers the artistic and cultural contributions of dozens of major Black dancers, but also because it documents their enormous social and political influence on mid-century American society.
