Klappentext zu „Soulstepping: African American Step Shows “
Stepping is a complex performance that melds folk traditions with popular culture and involves synchronized percussive movement, singing, speaking, chanting, and drama. Elizabeth C. Fine's stunningly elaborate and vibrant portrayal of the cultural politics of stepping draws on interviews with individuals on college campuses and steppers and stepping coaches from high schools, community groups, churches, and dance organizations. Soulstepping is the first book to document the history of stepping, its roots in African and African American culture, and its transformation by churches, schools, and social groups into a powerful tool for instilling group identity and community involvement.

Rezension zu „Soulstepping: African American Step Shows “
"A thorough job from describing [soulstepping's] history-which some believe is rooted in Africa-to showing its spread to national competitions and popular movies and television. While focused on stepping, the book also gives an overview of the history of black Greek letter sororities and fraternities." Detroit Free Press"Fine's documentation of the more recent growth of sacred and secular step teams outside of the realm of Black Greek Letter Organizations, the strength of her arts and performance-related scholarship, and her discussion of the intersections of African and African American aesthetics make this an important book that adds tremendously to our understanding of an important aspect of twentieth and twenty-first century African American and American popular culture." Journal of African American History
