An overview of the Caribbean dances, from Abakua and Zouk, and the complex, fused, and layered cultures that gave birth to them. This book describes how dance shapes personal, communal, and national identity. It shows how Caribbean rhythms, dances, fragments of movement, and even attitudes toward movement reach beyond the islands.
