This book addresses a gap in our understanding of the cultural and artistic contributions of Europeans of color. Histories of 20th-century European dance have often excluded artists working outside dominant aesthetic traditions, while dancers of color have frequently been confined to notions of the exotic and relegated to the margins of scholarship. Focusing on the French dancer and choreographer Nyota Inyoka (1896 1971), this study draws on her archive to examine the concept of créolité as an important yet overlooked force in artistic and discursive innovation within the performing arts.
