520    "A Black dancer chronicles her career as a scholar writing
       the stories of global hip-hop and Black culture. Dancing 
       the Afrofuture is the story of a dancer with a long career
       of artistry and activism who transitioned from performing 
       Black dance to writing it into history as a Black studies 
       scholar. Following the personal journey of her artistic 
       development told in Dancing in Blackness, Halifu Osumare 
       now reflects on how that first career--which began during 
       the 1960s Black Arts Movement--has influenced her growth 
       as an academic, tracing her teaching and research against 
       a political and cultural backdrop that extends to the 
       twenty-first century with Black Lives Matter and a potent 
       speculative Afrofuture. Osumare describes her decision to 
       step away from full-time involvement in dance and 
       community activism to earn a doctorate in American studies
       from the University of Hawai'i. She emulated the model of 
       her mentor Katherine Dunham by studying and performing 
       hula, and her research on hip-hop youth culture took her 
       from Hawai'i to Africa, Europe, and South America as a 
       professor at the University of California, Davis. 
       Throughout her scholarly career, Osumare has illuminated 
       the resilience of African-descendant peoples through a 
       focus on performance and the lens of Afrofuturism. 
       Respected for her work as both professional dancer and 
       trailblazing academic, Osumare shares experiences from her
       second career that show the potential of scholarship in 
       revealing and documenting underrecognized stories of Black
       dance and global pop culture. In this memoir, Osumare 
       dances across several fields of study while ruminating on 
       how the Black past reveals itself in the Afro-present that
       is transforming into the Afrofuture"--|cProvided by
