Description: "Survival of African cultural traditions in the New World has been a subject of academic study for years, particularly the traditions of African dance, music, and song. Yet the dance culture of blacks in London has been largely neglected. This book attempts to examine the history of black dance culture in London during the 18th and 19th centuries"--Provided by publisher.
