A bit of a tango book criticism in the Times...and a bit of Russian Czardas
with it... I wonder how that looks like. Probably like the Chinese
Cha-Chow-Chou...

I wonder, the publisher, why they put ( or allowed ) a misleading title for
the book? To facilitate more sales? Or what? It would be very interesting
for me to hear an answer from Mr. Thompson himself. Usually scientists like
very precise titles for their work. Is there any unusual story behind this
title?

Why do you think, or better put, still think, that Mr. Thompson is, or ever was, a scientist?

Please, be more careful making quotes.

Well, let's go into the minefield :->
There are formal sciences, based on mathematics. You cannot prove 1+1=3;
There are natural sciences, base on observation. The DNA is in the form of a spiral. That's it;
Then there are the social !sciences!. Based on interpretation. You can prove that Tango originated in Africa, the birth place of Black Jesus by the way.

Just how is the title misleading? IMO, the book is excellent,
and the title very apt.

Science has nothing to do with it.
Dr. Thompson, a noted professor of art history at Yale, is an
authority on African contributions to popular culture in the
Americas and Europe.
His book makes a strong case for essential contributions to
tango dance, music, literature and culture by Afro-Argentine
persons. He does so while fully considering and celebrating
the better known, Caucasian dancers, musicians and lyricists
that usually come to mind.
For some reason, some people find the idea that black dancers,
musicians and poets had anything to do with tango annoying.
