[Rarebooks] FS: Traditional African Dances of Witwatersrand Gold Mines

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: "African Dances of the Witwatersrand Gold Mines"

By Hugh Tracey.
Published in Johannesburg by the African Music Society: 1952.

DISCUSSION: A life-long interest in African tribal dance and music led the
author to compile this interesting study, illustrated with photographs by
Merlyn Severn. The mine operators had, partly at Tracey's urging, built
"Dance Arenas" for the performances, and the tribal dances became
something of a tourist attraction. The dances here are organized by tribe.
An interesting sidelight on the history of the gold mines, as well as a
study of African dance.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 8.5"x11", 156 pages, tipped-in black & white
frontispiece and many black & white illustrations.

CONDITION NOTES: The jacket has a little wear, but the book itself is in
fine, tight, clean condition.

PRICE: $45.00
