註釋Libation explains how the cakewalk reaffirms connections with the past among African Americans; how its intricate patterns reflect the landscape of the American South and the pilgrimage of Black Americans from Phillis Wheatley and Harriet Tubman to Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, and how the cakewalk forms the basis for a communal language of self-definition, resistance and celebration. Combining travelog, essay and a beautiful poetic system, illustrated with diagrams and photos, and all ultimately related to the symbol of the African American cakewalk, Ms. Majozo has produced a work of great richness and complexity.
