Short description:
The Oxford Handbook of Hip Hop Dance Studies offers insights on individual and social histories of dance, Afrodiasporic and global lineages of the genre, the contribution of B-Girls from Honey Rockwell to Rokafella, the "studio-fication" of hip hop, and the cultural shift into theatre, TV, and the digital social media space.
MoreLong description:
Engaging with a broad range of research and performance genres, The Oxford Handbook of Hip Hop Dance Studies offers the most comprehensive research on Hip Hop dance to date. Filling a lacuna in both Hip Hop and dance studies, the Handbook places practitioners' voices at the forefront and in dialogue with theoretical insights, rooted in critical race theory, anticolonialism, intersectional feminism, and more. Volume editors Mary Fogarty and Imani Kai Johnson have included influential dancers and scholars from around the world: from B-Boys Ken Swift, YNOT, and Storm, to practitioners of locking, waacking and House dance styles such as E. Moncell Durden, Terry Bright Kweku Ofosu, Fly Lady Di, and Leah McFly, and innovative academic work on Hip Hop dance by the most prominent researchers in the field. Throughout the Handbook contributors address individual and social histories of dance, Afrodiasporic and global lineages, the contribution of B-Girls from Honey Rockwell to Rokafella, the "studio-fication" of Hip Hop styles, and moves into theatre, TV, and the digital/social media space.
Serving as an introduction to hip-hop dance studies, this handbook provides fresh voices and perspectives on dance and its role in hip-hop culture.
