Book Synopsis
A vast social gap separated Simon Bolivar from people of African descent; however, John Charles Chasteen's research shows that popular culture could bridge the gap. Fast-paced and often funny, this book explores the history of Latin American popular dance before the twentieth century. The relationship between Latin American dance and nationalism, it turns out, is very deep, indeed.
