Reviews
This book brings to light, through a prism of dance, a world that has undergone enormous political and cultural change ... Perhaps of equal importance, the scholarship embedded within this book is a reminder that dance is at once personal and global, intimate and shared, a way of being in and knowing of a world that has no boundaries. * Journal of Dance Education *
