Professor Rachel Carrico received a publication subvention for her book Footwork! Dancing the Politics of Pleasure at the New Orleans Second Line. Since the late nineteenth century, Black New Orleanians have danced through the streets in processions known as “second lines.” The first line consists of the brass band and hosting organization, one of many Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs. The second line is the community that follows. Footwork! Dancing the Politics of Pleasure at the New Orleans Second Line blends ethnographic research with analysis and history to provide the first in-depth study of dance in New Orleans’s African diaspora parading traditions. With a close attention to bodies in motion, the book theorizes pleasure as a form of negotiating and understanding power.
