Urgent and provocative, it brings streetdance into conversation with Black feminist theory and Black Queer theory in important ways. The book’s structure and its pauses for poetic explorations are compelling, and confirm that Bragin dances well with words, translation, and those who have shared their stories with her."" - Thomas F. DeFrantz, Northwestern University ""A vital intervention in the discourse on street dance, illuminating the kinship between West Coast street dances and the hip hop dances of the East Coast. With attention to how the dancers form community, training with one another and transmitting the dances from body to body, community to community, Bragin decenters the studio and shifts the focus to the places and people who make and perform the dances. Kinethic California is a loving tribute to the inventors of West Coast street dance, writing an intentionally underrepresented group into history."" - Raquel Monroe, University of Texas at Austin" """A vital intervention in the discourse on street dance, illuminating the kinship between West Coast street dances and the hip hop dances of the East Coast.
