Dancing Many Drums: Excavations in African American Dance
* Though this book is not exclusively about jazz dance, Jazz Dance Direct considers it a significant text in the study of jazz dance aesthetics.
Publisher's Description:
Few will dispute the profound influence that African American music and movement has had in American and world culture. Dancing Many Drums explores that influence through a groundbreaking collection of essays on African American dance history, theory, and practice. In so doing, it reevaluates "black" and "African American " as both racial and dance categories.
