"Hot Feet and Social Change: African Dance and Diaspora Communities" is a book that aims to address the lack of documented work featuring the voices of African dance elders. It explores the role of traditional arts in creating and maintaining identity within diverse communities that are part of the African Diaspora. The book is divided into three sections, featuring historical communities, legendary performers and researchers, and comparative discussions of music and dance in the Diaspora and Africa. It provides a valuable resource for those within the African dance diaspora and offers a contextualized look at an art form that has often been marginalized and disregarded.
