The Dap in the Military: Hand-to-Hand Communication.
Shuter, Robert
Journal of Communication, v29 n1 p136-42 Win 1979
Examines the use of the dap in the military between 1960 and 1976 and concludes that, beyond being a ritualistic handshake, it served as a symbol of Black opposition to White racism, a sign of Black identity, and a symbol of Black unity. (JMF)
