Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

The Oxford Handbook of Black Dance Studies features forty-two chapters of original scholarship that cultivate an awareness of dizzying abundance in Black dance practice. The chapters stretch through genres of analysis and intellectual methods. With unflappable confidence, each chapter tells of differential relations to an African diaspora in motion. The rising connectivities of Black Dance Studies offer moments to savor the source codes of activities that emerge in expressive gestures cast in relation to the ever-presentness of Black Life.
MoreLong description:
The Oxford Handbook of Black Dance Studies encompasses the thinking that considers how people in motion craft worlds beyond worlds of imagination, culture, desire, intellect, and practice.
Black Dance Studies, which brings together thinking and moving, is foundational to any manner of Black expression and political action. This handbook offers a broad look into it as a form of intellectual inquiry. The twinned dynamic of dance as a practice replete with reflection as well as elaboration offers a prismatic assessment of how Black Life emerges and moves, and how our lives expand in multiple directions through gesture. Encouraging well-being within the activity of embodied wondering, Black dance constructs counterbalances to everyday worlds of disavowal and disconnection; under-appreciation and material lack. Black Dance Studies takes on the task of narrating how dancing matters as a technology of feeling and participation in a political process of embodied Black Life.
The volume includes forty-two chapters of original scholarship that cultivate an awareness of dizzying abundance in Black dance practice. They stretch through many genres of analysis and intellectual methods. With unflappable confidence, each chapter tells of differential relations to an African diaspora in motion. There might be few areas of endeavor that Black Dance never touches. The rising connectivities of Black Dance Studies offer moments to savor the source codes of activities that emerge in expressive gestures cast in relation to the ever-presentness of Black Life.
