解説

This book offers a compelling intersectional exploration of how disability is understood in relation to citizenship and global critical disability studies across diverse African cultures.

It delves into the transformative power of integrated dance as a medium to challenge and reshape dominant social attitudes toward disability. Through detailed case studies of Dance into Space (Kenya), FLATFOOT and FLATFOOT Downie Dance Companies, Unmute Dance Company (South Africa) and Ugandan choreographer Joseph Tebandeke, the authors examine how contemporary dance can foster inclusive citizenship. Drawing on Foucauldian theory, the book highlights how 'small moments' in everyday life may be explored through dance in ways that shift paradigms and redefine ability and belonging. It also analyses the role of networks and festivals in expanding integrated dance that impacts public perception of disability both within Africa and globally.

This book will resonate with students and scholars in theatre studies, disability studies, African studies and critical Black studies, as well as anyone interested in performance as a tool for social change.
