Review:
"'Dancing in the Streets' interweaves sources from historical
anthropology, philosophy, sociology, psychology, neuroscience and popular
cultural studies"
-- Financial Times Magazine
"...an oddly gripping book... Ehrenreich is on to something
here." -- Observer
"An admirably lucid, level-headed history of outbreaks of
collective joy from Dionysus to the Grateful Dead" -- Terry Eagleton
"Barbara Erenreich wants to affirm the value of ecstatic group
celebration...(a)reporter's nose for subject and information" -- Scotland on Sunday
"Ehrenreich's analysis is fascinating, and seems intuitively
right... This is a good book, mostly because it makes you think"
-- Sunday Telegraph
"The title of the book alone did my weary heart good... a message
to be welcomed, pondered - and enjoyed." -- The Times
"This is a passionate argument in favour of communal
celebration... (It) opens an important subject to the general reader."
-- The Sunday Times
"This is a thought-provoking and sober look at a delightfully
unsober topic." -- London Review of Books
