Editorial Review Product Description DanceHall combines cultural geography, performance studies and cultural studies to examine performance culture across the Black Atlantic. Taking Jamaican dancehall music as its prime example, DanceHall reveals a complex web of cultural practices, politics, rituals, philosophies, and survival strategies that link Caribbean, African and African diasporic performance. Combining the rhythms of reggae, digital sounds and rapid-fire DJ lyrics, dancehall music was popularized in Jamaica during the later part of the last century by artists such as Shabba Ranks, Shaggy, Beenie Man and Buju Banton. Even as its popularity grows around the world, a detailed understanding of dancehall performance space, lifestyle and meanings is missing. Author Sonjah Stanley Niaah relates how dancehall emerged from the marginalized youth culture of Kingston’s ghettos and how it remains inextricably linked to the ghetto, giving its performance culture and spaces a distinct identity. She reveals how dancehall’s migratory networks, embodied practice, institutional frameworks, and ritual practices link it to other musical styles, such as American blues, South African kwaito, and Latin American reggaetòn. She shows that dancehall is part of a legacy that reaches from the dance shrubs of West Indian plantations and the early negro churches, to the taxi-dance halls of Chicago and the ballrooms of Manhattan. Indeed, DanceHall stretches across the whole of the Black Atlantic’s geography and history to produce its detailed portrait of dancehall in its local, regional, and transnational performance spaces.

mediocre book on a great subject
Makeda Silvia is to dread with this anthology It is amust read, if only for Lawrence Braithwaite's short story "BAGGYTROUSERS" (whose previous novel Wigger tackled the hellish interiormonologue of contemporary youth and race).Braithwaite tells a twistedstory, in street argot, of two Black teenagers "stuck" in a briefand brutal urban love affair. Maka: Diasporic Juks, comes through all theway inspiring insight, intellgence, sexuality, sensuality and dread. A mustread and great next step forward in the tradition of the late EssexHemphill's Brother to Brother (Alyson Press). Ms Silvera and Ms Douglas,inspire dreams and action with this collection of thought, tales andtestamony. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Contesting popular discourses about what constitutes "culture"and maintaining that neglected strains in Négritude discourse providea crucial philosophical perspective on the connections between folkpractices, cultural memory, and collective consciousness, Johnexamines the diasporic principles in the work of the Négritude writersLéon Damas, Aimé Césaire, and Léopold Senghor. She traces themanifestations and reworkings of their ideas in Afro-Caribbean writingfrom the eastern and French Caribbean, as well as the Caribbeandiaspora in the United States. The authors discussed include JamaicaKincaid, Earl Lovelace, Simone Schwarz-Bart, Audre Lorde, PauleMarshall, and Edouard Glissant, among others. John argues that, byincorporating what she calls "folk groundings"—such as poems,folktales, proverbs, and songs—into their work, Afro-Caribbeanwriters invoke a psychospiritual consciousness which combines old andnew strategies for addressing the ongoing postcolonial struggle. |

Editorial Review Product Description Diasporic Avant-Gardes draws into dialogue two differing traditions of poetic practice: the diasporic and the avant-garde. This interdisciplinary collection examines the unacknowledged affinities (and crucial differences) between avant-garde and diasporic formal strategies and social formations. The essays foreground the creation of experimental forms and investigate the specific contexts of cultural displacement and language use that inform their poetics. |
17. Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity by Monica L. Miller | |

Editorial Review Product Description Miller draws from literature, film, photography, print ads, and music to generate a cultural history of the black dandy, ranging from Mungo Macaroni, a freed slave and well-known dandy on the London social scene in the eighteenth century, to the ways that contemporary visual artists represent the black dandy as an emblem of black cosmopolitanism. Along the way, she addresses the role of the black dandy in nineteenth-century American literature and drama, W. E. B. Du Bois's use of the dandy to investigate the relationship between black masculinity and cultural nationalism, and black dandyism in the modernist aesthetics of the Harlem Renaissance. With masterful aplomb worthy of its iconographic subject, Slaves to Fashion analyzes and celebrates the black dandy as a cultural figure in the Atlantic diaspora. Customer Reviews (1)
