This cultural exchange underscored the integrative sociocultural aesthetic of Somali dances within female-centered, life-cycle events: namely, female "circumcision," as well as marriage and childbirth, in order to discover how Somali womanhood is essentially shaped and defined in present times. A collective of thirteen urban refugee Somali women and Ethio-Somali women from Addis Ababa and Jijiga, Ethiopia were the embodiment of and living witnesses to the descriptive, interpretive, and sociocultural aesthetic elements of this account. The female dancing body was "read" as "text"---inundated with meaning. Within this holistic reading, it was recognized that the female body maps out new sociocultural terrain while holding fast to both historical and cultural landscapes of that which has gone before; thus, it continues to move through oppositional social spaces.

520 $a This cultural exchange underscored the integrative sociocultural aesthetic of Somali dances within female-centered, life-cycle events: namely, female "circumcision," as well as marriage and childbirth, in order to discover how Somali womanhood is essentially shaped and defined in present times. A collective of thirteen urban refugee Somali women and Ethio-Somali women from Addis Ababa and Jijiga, Ethiopia were the embodiment of and living witnesses to the descriptive, interpretive, and sociocultural aesthetic elements of this account. The female dancing body was "read" as "text"---inundated with meaning. Within this holistic reading, it was recognized that the female body maps out new sociocultural terrain while holding fast to both historical and cultural landscapes of that which has gone before; thus, it continues to move through oppositional social spaces.
520 $a The distinct, yet interrelated, aims of the cultural exchange were to: share space with and relinquish space to Somali women who create, reproduce, and achieve control on contested grounds that they may kinesthetically and orally, "speak" for themselves; reconceptualize and redirect the Western and feminist gazes that often disparately analyze and homogenize African dance forms, female-centered traditions in Africa, and the black body of women; and, reckon with the black female dancing body as a valid and rigorous research tool for cross-cultural inquiry and exchange. The study was experienced through both the multiple perspectives of African feminism and my own black dancing body as situated within a landscape of performance and integrative research methods.
520 $a The first chapter introduces the project, discusses the specialized understanding of key terms, states the major premises of the study, and sets the theoretical pathway to usher the reader onto a stage of discovery; the second chapter looks at the methodological framework of this exchange; chapter three reviews relevant literature; descriptions, interpretations, and the sociocultural aesthetic of female "circumcision" are elucidated in chapter four; the fifth chapter elucidates the life-cycle events of marriage and childbirth, respectively; and, the sixth and final chapter ponders the place and location of this exchange in past, present, and future "bodies" of knowledge.
