In Caribbean and Atlantic Diaspora Dance: Igniting Citizenship; Yvonne Daniel provides a sweeping cultural and historical examination of diaspora dance genres. In discussing relationships among African; Caribbean; and other diasporic dances; Daniel investigates social dances brought to the islands by Europeans and Africans; including quadrilles and drum-dances as well as popular dances that followed; such as Carnival parading; Pan-Caribbean danzas;rumba; merengue; mambo; reggae; and zouk. Daniel reviews sacred dance and closely documents combat dances; such as Martinican ladja; Trinidadian kalinda; and Cuban juego de maniacute;. In drawing on scores of performers and consultants from the region as well as on her own professional dance experience and acumen; Daniel adeptly places Caribbean dance in the context of cultural and economic globalization; connecting local practices to transnational and global processes and emphasizing the important role of dance in critical regional tourism.
