Hip Hop Dance: Meanings and Messages - Carla Stalling Huntington
Just found out about Carla Stalling Huntington's Hip Hop Dance: Meanings and Messages so I haven't checked it out yet but it sounds pretty serious:
"Tracing the African American dance from the Diaspora to the dance floor, this book covers a social history germane not only to the African American experience, but also to the global experience of laborers who learn lessons from hip hop dance. Examining hip hop dance as text, as commentary, and as a function of identity construction within the confines of consumerism, the book draws on popular cultural images from films, commercials, and dance studios. A bibliography, discography, and filmography are included."
Carla Stalling Huntington is described as a "marketing and management professor" who "lives and works in southwestern Missouri."
