Engaging with Black-ness as diasporic multiplicities—expressed through the lived contexts of Caribbean British, African British, Black British, and Afro-Indigenous British lineages, alongside African American influences that have been lived and developed within Britain—the collection highlights artists whose work has profoundly shaped and continues to enrich the British dance landscape. More than a record of the past, this book reflects the living, evolving presence of Black-ness in British dance today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 200%;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eEdited by a collective of dance-artist-scholars— \u003cstrong\u003eAdesola Akinleye\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSandie Bourne\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBeverley Glean\u003c\/strong\u003e MBE, \u003cstrong\u003eLouise Katerega\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eHopal Romans\u003c\/strong\u003e—with \u003cstrong\u003eJulia Cheng\u003c\/strong\u003e contributing to the original planning alongside the editorial team, this book is both a resource and an invitation.
