BOOK REVIEW - Dancing in the Street: A History of Collective Joy by Barbara Ehrenreich

Written By: 

What’s missing in today’s society that our distant ancestors took for granted? Why has mass celebration been so threatening to the church and state for centuries? And why is there no term in our language to describe the drive for collective joy? In this thought provoking volume, Ehrenreich makes it abundantly clear that mankind’s spiritual roots lie in ecstatic celebration. While barely noticing today’s dance culture, she makes the case that because we are innately social beings, communal revelry is the key to a peaceful future.
