About this ebook
Dance Politics reveals the powerful, often-overlooked connection between dance and political expression. Moving beyond mere entertainment, the book explores how dance serves as propaganda, resistance, and a reflection of cultural identity. It examines how choreographic choices and dancers' bodies become imbued with political meaning, influencing public opinion and challenging oppressive regimes. Consider, for instance, how dance traditions have preserved ancestral heritage threatened by colonialism, or how contemporary movements have used dance to directly respond to political unrest. The book argues that dance is a dynamic form of political communication capable of reinforcing or subverting dominant ideologies. It progresses through three sections: defining ""political dance,"" analyzing its use as propaganda through historical examples, and spotlighting instances of dance as cultural resistance. Grounded in interdisciplinary research, including dance studies, political science, and history, Dance Politics offers a unique lens for understanding power dynamics and social change.
