In this pivotal book, the captivating and kinetic images of noted photographer Eric Waters are paired with a collection of insightful essays by preeminent authors and cultural leaders to offer the first complete look at the Social, Aid and Pleasure Club (SAPC) parade culture in New Orleans. Ranging from ideological approaches to the contributions of musicians, development of specific rituals by various clubs, and parade accessories such as elaborately decorated fans and sashes, Freedoms Dance provides an unparalleled photographic and textual overview of the SAPC Second Line, tracking its origins in African traditions and subsequent development in black New Orleans culture.Karen Celestans vibrant narrative is supplemented with interviews of longtime culturebearers such as Oliver Squirk Hunter, Lois Andrews (mother of Troy Trombone Shorty Andrews and James Andrews), Fred Johnson, Gregory Davis, and Lionel Batiste, while interdisciplinary essays by leading scholars detail the rituals, historic perspective, and purpose of the Second Line. Freedoms Dance defines this unique publicprivate phenomenon and captures every aspect of the Second Line, from SAPC members rollicking introductions at their annual parade to a funeral procession on its way to the crypt.Visually dazzling and critically important, Freedoms Dance serves as both a celebration and a deep exploration of this understudied but immediately recognizable aspect of the African American tradition in the Big Easy.
