The following paper reflects a journey into speculative ethnography, a piece of ficto‐criticism that explores Katherine Dunham's return to the ancestors. The paper was presented during a special session of the 2006 American Anthropological Association annual meeting in San Jose. The session, entitled Performances in Honor of Katherine Dunham, was organized by Maria Vesperi.
