Samba: Resistance in Motion


Awards

  • Winner of 1996 de la Torre Bueno Prize, Dance Perspectives Foundation.

Overview

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.
