These processions invite would-be spectators to join in, grooving to an ambulatory brass band for several hours. Though an increasingly popular attraction for tourists, parading provides the second liners themselves with a potent public expression of Black resistance. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Rachel Carrico examines the parading bodies in motion as a form of negotiating and understanding power. Seeing pleasure as a bodily experience, Carrico reveals how second liners' moves link joy and liberation, self and communal identities, play and dissent, and reclamations of place. As she shows, dancers' choices allow them to access the pleasure of reclaiming self and city through motion and rhythm while expanding a sense of the possible in the present and for the future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In-depth and empathetic, \u003ci\u003e Dancing the Politics of Pleasure at the New Orleans Second Line\u003c\/i\u003e blends analysis with a chorus of Black voices to reveal an indelible facet of Black culture in the Crescent City. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Carrico\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252088077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252088070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Rachel Carrico","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46136210718975,"sku":"9780252088070","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5d194af-9176-4506-a6b9-3625388f5e32.jpg?v=1726416014","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dancing-the-politics-of-pleasure-rachel-carrico-9780252088070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
