Description:

This collection of writings addresses the impact of multiculturalism on the dance world. The opportunities and difficulties afforded by the increasing use of non-Western traditions in dance are the focus of the 14 essays by leading dancers, historians, and critics that editor David Gere has collated in this book. Emphasizing the artistic rewards of incorporating non-Western dance into the repertoire, this collection provides artists, academics, and audiences a means of understanding and coming to terms with the issues of multiculturalism in the arts.
