![]() | We Will Dance Our Truth Working collaboratively with Yoeme communities, Shorter has produced a scrupulous investigation that challenges received wisdom from both anthropological and New Age perspectives, demonstrates how Yoeme performances provide a counterdiscourse to earlier understandings of colonialism and conquest, and updates our knowledge of contemporary Yoeme society. Shorter's vivid descriptions and penetrating analyses vividly show how today's Yoeme peoples navigate the tribulations and opportunities of the twenty-first century. David Delgado Shorter is a professor and vice chair in the Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance at the University of California, Los Angeles. |
