Daniel B. Reed integrates individual stories with the study of performance to understand the forces of diaspora and mobility in the lives of musicians, dancers, and mask performers originally from Côte d'Ivoire who now live in the United States. Through the lives of four Ivorian performers, Reed finds that dance and music, being transportable media, serve as effective ways to understand individual migrants in the world today. As members of an immigrant community who are geographically dispersed, these performers are unmoored from their place of origin and yet deeply engaged in presenting their symbolic roots to North American audiences. By looking at performance, Reed shows how translocation has led to transformations on stage, but he is also sensitive to how performance acts as a way to reinforce and maintain community. Abidjan USA provides a multifaceted view of community that is at once local, national, and international, and where identity is central, but transportable, fluid, and adaptable.

In the 60s, the apartheid relocated black people in ghettos. The townships became a place of poverty, but also of encounters and the soil of a overflowing culture, the pantsula. The group Via Katlehong depicts on stage its creativity, with live music using traditional instruments and songs. The dancers modernize the gumboots (tap dancing and contemporary African dance) and offer a new dance called mogaba (keystrokes feet and clapping hands).
