DANCING IN BLACKNESS, A MEMOIR, just released by University Press of Florida. They are giving a discount to anyone who orders the book this month in February 2018. Please see the discount code below, and order my book online. It is also on Amazon.com.
In DANCING IN BLACKNESS, A MEMOIR I explore my personal dance career, capturing much of the revolutionary 60s, the transformative 70s, the Reagonomics 80s, and the 90s transition into the new millennium, while dancing in Europe, Africa, New York, and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Area. I simultaneously explore black dance as an affirmation of the ancestors and a social and political tool.
Library Journal Review has already reviewed Dancing in Blackness:
"Osumare has engaged with black dance as performer, choreographer, educator, arts administrator, researcher, and activist in the United States, Africa, and Europe, and through multiple careers. In this equal parts memoir, autoethnography, history, encyclopedic catalog, and sociocultural analysis, she traces her activities from the 1960s through the late 1990s, as she becomes a tenacious advocate for black dance. . . . An eclectic melange."--Library Journal
You can read excerpts from the book in the UPF Press Kit
