Everynight Life by Celeste Fraser Delgado
The function of dance in Latin American culture is the focus of the essays collected in Everynight Life. Viewing dance as privileged sites of identity formation and cultural resistance in Latin America, this title translates the motion of bodies into speech, and the gestures of dance into a provocative socio-political grammar.
“Everynight Life is a major contribution to the ongoing investigation of specific cultural practices heretofore ignored by traditional academic investigationIt will be of specific value to scholars and critics studying issues of performance and performativity as they inform practices of subject-formation in its political, cultural, and sexual dimensions.”—Ricardo Ortiz, Dartmouth College
“This is an exciting and an important book, just the kind of contribution that many of us have been eager to find. It weaves politics with popular culture, national borders with rhythm. In short it’s up-to-date in terms of intellectual issues, and sensitively down-to-earth in ways that make practical sense.”—Doris Sommer, Harvard University
