Near Fine [Better Than Very Go/Very Good. 132 large pages, size 11 inches tall by 9.25 inches. ' The present book on African dance is more than a collection of interesting photographs. For dance in Africa is no mere art form. It is the natural expression of the emotions of the African people. Their language of dance is spontaneous and poetic, formal and unconstrained, all at the same time. It can express a great deal: concrete problems as well as emotions like hope, defiance, fear, love ... The manifold meaning of the African dance comes completely to the fore only in Its natural surroundings. It can never be put across on the stage. And it is in these surroundings that Madame Darbois has photographed the dancers, really capturing the setting and the charm of theAfrican dances. Her action photographs give the reader a new insight into the comlex art of dance in the awakening "Dark Continent". With its enlightening text by V. Vasut, this book remains a unique document, the subject of which is far beyond the boundaries of ritual and folk art expression '.
