Digging the Africanist Presence in American Performance : Dance and Other Contexts. - Dixon Gottschild, Brenda (Westport : Praeger, 1998)
Dixon Gottschild argues that the Africanist aesthetic has been 'invisibilized' by the pervasive force of racism. She examines the Africanist presence in American dance forms particularly in George Balanchine's Americanized style of ballet, (post)modern dance, and blackface minstrelsy. Hip hop culture and rap are related tot contemporary performance, showing how a disenfranchised culture affects the culture in power.
