[Updated for works published to June 2017]<\/p>\n

SwingNation featured a new thesis on the Savoy Ballroom on a recent show<\/a> and it led me to wonder what other scholarly work on Lindy Hop is out there. So I went looking.<\/p>\n

It turns out that there’s a surprising amount of scholarship out there about or using Lindy Hop. Much of it is by key figures in the community who were important during the ‘revival’ period or are active in scenes across the world today.<\/p>\n

Many of these are behind the paywalls of academic journals<\/a>, so unless you’re a university student or academic or are willing to fork over exorbitant fees you’re probably not going to be able to access them.* I’ve added hyperlinks where a work is publicly available.<\/p>\n

I’ve mainly concentrated on scholarly works and books, generally more reliable in terms of their accuracy. I’ve steered clear of blogs, but I should include Jerry Almonte’s Artistry In Rhythm<\/a> series which I would say probably has the same (or more) amount of work found in a typical masters thesis.<\/p>\n

I’ve grouped the works into some basic categories and ordered them alphabetically by author.<\/p>\n

If you’re aware of any other works I haven’t included, or you have published one yourself, please let me know in the comments and I’ll update it.<\/p>\n
