"Freedom's Dance" is the first book of its kind detailing a public-private African-American culture in one of this country's most distinctive cities. Kinetic photographs by Eric Waters - 174 full color, black-and-white, sepia and spot color - capture the joy and fervor of a SAPC parade in New Orleans. Karen Celestan's narrative, supported by essays from renowned academics and culture-bearers, provides a complete overview of this specialized ritual.
