Press blurb: Breaking, popping, locking, waacking, and hip-hop dance are
practiced widely in contemporary Vietnam. Considering the dance practices
in the larger context of post-socialist transformation, urban
restructuring, and changing gender relations, Sandra Kurfürst examines
youth's aspirations and desires embodied in dance. Drawing on a rich and
diverse range of qualitative data, including interviews, sensory and
digital ethnography, she shows how dancers confront social and gender norms
while following their passion. As a contribution to area and global
studies, the book illuminates the translocal spatialities of hip hop,
produced through the circulation of objects and the movement of people.
