- The review of Birgit Åkesson's Dance as a Source of Culture in Africa (Dar-es-Salaam: Mkui Na Nyota, 2010; translated from Swedish, Källvattnets mask, by Rachelle Purveyor and Håkan Lövgren) emphasizes the work's groundbreaking and bold attempts at “translating” dance as initiation rites (young people, adults, community) into a hermeneutics of multiple understandings. It is an anti-book where each page may involve separate, but still allied, segments of discourse such as poetry, ethnography, photography. To this review I add a personal note of my working with Åkesson and its importance for me.
