Reviews
A collection of essays by authors with credentials ranging from purely academic to dance and other occupations, this volume examines issues in representations of dance and dancers, stories and histories of dance traditions and displacement, and negotiation of aesthetics.... [T]his book represents an effort to write outside the now-traditional expositions on India's dance traditions, and as such, it is commendable. Summing Up: Recommended ... Upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals. * CHOICE *
This fascinating book is not one to be read in haste, because the essays it contains both deserve and require a great deal of concentration. They will reward such attention because they reveal painstaking research on numerous aspects of the manifold forms of classical Indian dance. Careful study will bring a great deal to light not only about those dance traditions, but also about the complex sociopolitical problems that have often bedeviled their performers (as well as scholars) in the twentieth century and beyond.... I highly recommend this book to those who wish to delve further into the rich field of Indian dance. The bibliographies attached to the various chapters are, in themselves, valuable resources. * Journal of Dance Education *
