Dancing in the Streets by Barbara Ehrenreich
Talks about the origins of communal celebration in human biology and culture. Although sixteenth-century Europeans began to view mass festivities as foreign and 'savage', this book shows that they were indigenous to the West, from the ancient Greek's worship of Dionysus to the medieval practices of Christianity as a 'danced religion'.
* 'Ehrenreich is the kind of reporter who could be put down just about anywhere and always come up with revelations of the society around her, its people, their hopes and fears' Guardian
Barbara Ehrenreich is the author of fourteen books, including the bestselling Nickel and Dimed and Bait and Switch. She lives in New York State.
