A range of approaches, from the anthropological to the literary and from the practical to the creative, allows for a thorough exploration of these dances in the distinct yet interrelated contexts of social history, tradition/ritual, and performance. Connections are made among a fascinating array of dances, both familiar and little known, from culturally based dances to newly created performance pieces. Particular emphasis is placed on the African contribution in making Caribbean dance distinctive. Photos, maps, and an extensive glossary of terms round out the book to make it the most complete resource on Caribbean dance to date."--BOOK JACKET.
