Concentrating on the Caribbean Basin and the coastal area of northeast South America, this title considers three African-derived religious systems that rely heavily on dance behavior - Haitian Vodou, Cuban Yoruba, and Bahamian Candomble. It examines these oppressed performative dances in terms of physiology, psychology, philosophy, and aesthetics.
