Reviews
"Browning employs her perspectives as a dancer and literary theorist in this very readable book on various dance forms in contemporary Brazil." -Choice "... provides dance studies with much needed data and ideas for analyses which will look further than dance-as-text, or dance-as-reflection-of-culture." -Dance Research Journal "... a work that is not only evocative, but provocative." -Bulletin of Latin American Research
