Modern dance, Negro dance.
Author: Manning, Susan A. Published: 2004 Modern dance, Negro dance is the first book to bring together two vibrant strains of American dance. Susan Manning traces the paths of modern dance and Negro dance from their beginnings in the Depression to their ultimate transformations in the postwar years: the result is a view of American history across the divisions of black and white, racial and liberal, gay and straight, and into the interdependent meanings of bodies in motion. |
