Everynight Life : Culture and Dance in Latin/o America PDF
Edited by Delgado Celeste Fraser Delgado, Munoz Jose Esteban Munoz
Part of the Latin America otherwise series
Description
This anthology looks at many modes of dance-including salsa, merengue, cumbia, rumba, mambo, tango, samba, and norteno-as models for the interplay of cultural memory and regional conflict. Barbara Browning's essay on capoeira, for instance, demonstrates how dance has been used as a literal form of resistance, while Jose Piedra explores the meanings conveyed by women of color dancing the rumba. Pieces such as Gustavo Perez Firmat's "I Came, I Saw, I Conga'd" and Jorge Salessi's "Medics, Crooks, and Tango Queens" illustrate the lively scope of this volume's subject matter.
Contributors. Barbara Browning, Celeste Fraser Delgado, Jane C. Desmond, Mayra Santos Febres, Juan Carlos Quintero Herencia, Josh Kun, Ana M. Lopez, Jose Esteban Munoz, Jose Piedra, Gustavo Perez Firmat, Augusto C. Puleo, David Roman, Jorge Salessi, Alberto Sandoval
