Restores primary African-American dance pioneers to their proper place in the history of American Dance innovation
African_American Concert Dance significantly advances the study of pioneering black dancers by providing valuable biographical and historical information on a group of artists who worked during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s to legitimize dance of the African diaspora as a serious art form. John O. Perpener sets these seminal artists and their innovations in the contexts of African-American culture and American modern dance and explores their creative synthesis of material from European-American, African-American, Caribbean, and African sources.
John O. Perpener III is an associate professor in the department of dance at Florida State University, Tallahassee.
"I have no doubt [this study] will stand as a major contribution to the history of American concert dance and a testament to the importance of black artistic and cultural practices to American culture in general." Helen Thomas, in Ethnic and Racial Studies
"An outstanding contribution to the field of dance scholarship. Perpener's writing style exhibits rigorous scholarship combined with eminent readability, which makes for lively access to the depth and scope of information provided. Several sections of well-chosen and beautifully reproduced photographs illuminate the text with important visual information." Choice
"A first-rate study, lucid and well-paced. . . . Sure to become a standard reference work in dance history and African-American studies." Gerald E. Myers, humanities director, American Dance Festival
