Tracey, Hugh. African Dances of the Witwatersrand Gold Mines. Johannesburg African Music Society: 1952. A life-long interest in African tribal dance and music led the author to compile this interesting study, illustrated with photographs by Merlyn Severn. The mine operators had, partly at Tracey's urging, built "Dance Arenas" for the performances, and the tribal dances became something of a tourist attraction. The dances here are organized by tribe. An interesting sidelight on the history of the gold mines, as well as a study of African dance. Hardcover. 8.5"x11", 156 pages, tipped-in b/w frontispiece and many b/w illustrations a fine copy in a somewhat worn dj. Inventory #: 5456 Price: $ 75.00
