First Edition
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ehrenreich uncovers the origins of communal celebration in human biology and culture. She discovers that the same elements come up in every human culture throughout history: a love of masking, carnival, music-making and dance. Although sixteenth-century Europeans began to view mass festivities as foreign and savage, Ehrenreich shows that they were indigenous to the West, from the ancient Greeks' worship of Dionysus to the medieval practices of Christianity as a danced religion. Exhilarating in its scholarly range, humane, witty and impassioned, Dancing in the Streets will generate debate and soul searching. This book explores the common characteristics of the communal celebrations displayed by cultures from all parts of the world and throughout history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
