Samba by Barbara Browning

Barbara Browning combines a lyrical, personal narrative with incisive theoretical accounts of Brazilian dance cultures. While she brings ethnographic, historiographic, and musicological scholarship to bear on her subject, Browning writes as a dancer, fully engaged in the dance cultures of Brazil and of Brazilian exile communities in the U.S.
"Browning employs her perspectives as a dancer and literary theorist in this very readable book on various dance forms in contemporary Brazil" -Choice "... provides dance studies with much needed data and ideas for analyses which will look further than dance-as-text, or dance-as-reflection-of-culture." -Dance Research Journal "... a work that is not only evocative, but provocative." -Bulletin of Latin American Research
BARBARA BROWNING teaches diasporic literature and cultural studies in the English Department at Princeton University. She has studied, taught, and performed Brazilian dance in Brazil, the United States, and Europe.
