Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This study interprets the intricate complexion of dance in Cuban society, focusing on the dynamic cultural phenomenon known as rumba, in particular. In introducing her topic, Daniel displays as vigorous a tempo as the energized movement of the dance itself. Overall, her inquiry probes the origins of rumba then proceeds to analyze the capacity of this distinctive dance to influence all levels of social interactions. It is intriguing to note that Daniel follows in the tradition of other anthropologists who have focused on dance as a method of comprehending a culture and have been dancers themselves. The professional form of rumba as well as traditional and public forms are examined here with respect to the excitement generated by and the transformative potential of this dance. Alice Joyce --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
