""A timely cultural exploration, the book is exceedingly well written and accessible. . . . Rooted Jazz Dance will be an invaluable resource. . . . Highly recommended.""--Choice ""The book not only vivifies the way that jazz is firmly rooted in the African diaspora and deeply connected to the social and vernacular dances of African Americans, it also provides paths for engagement that go beyond simple acknowledgment of these roots. . . . [It] contextualizes our present moment while imagining a bright and equitable future.""--Dance Chronicle ""Every jazz dance scholar, dancer, choreographer, and educator should read this text. . . . [The editors] offer a hopeful look at what the future of jazz dance can be. They call for action--not just in words but in deeds.""--Journal of Dance Education
