Dancing in the Streets: A History of Collective Joy by Barbara Ehrenreich

3.0

A beautiful history of humans told from the perspective of collective movement - dancing, chanting, marching. Cool to hear about how this kind of choregraphed movement may have made humans appear like a larger or at least scarier threat. Interesting to hear about how the oppression of lower classes also goes hand in hand with preventing them from dancing together, aspects of Carnival right down to raves.
