abstract="The present essay is based on comparative fieldwork, which is discussed in detail elsewhere; however, here the emphasis is on ethnology rather than ethnography through a critical analysis of the values that inform Caribbean dance behaviors, that is, values that have marked the longevity and pervasiveness of contredanse-derived dancing throughout the Caribbean region. The essay looks at neo-African values concerning the centrality of dance in culture, identity in humane culture, and ancestor reverence, as well as neo-colonial values and the Caribbean colonial experience.<p />",
