Katherine Dunham's Journey To Accompong is a memoir written by the renowned dancer, choreographer, and anthropologist Katherine Dunham. The book recounts Dunham's travels to Jamaica in the early 1940s, where she studied the culture and traditions of the Maroons, a group of people who had escaped slavery and established their own community in the mountains.Dunham's journey to Accompong, the heart of the Maroon community, was a transformative experience that deepened her understanding of African diaspora culture and influenced her work as a dancer and choreographer. The book provides a vivid account of Dunham's encounters with the Maroons, their music, dance, and spiritual practices, and the challenges she faced as a Black woman navigating a complex cultural landscape.Throughout the book, Dunham reflects on the importance of cultural exchange and the power of dance and music to bridge divides and bring people together. The memoir is a testament to Dunham's lifelong commitment to promoting cultural understanding and social justice, and it offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of Jamaica and the African diaspora.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
