Book Review: Choreographing Copyright: Race, Gender, And Intellectual Property Rights In American Dance By Anthea Kraut, Carys Craig

Kraut performs a fascinating exploration of the evolution of choreographic copyright—sweeping, political, polemical—that should leave no one in doubt as to the normative significance of choreography as a subject matter of copyright law and policy.

For the first three decades of the nineteenth century New Zealand remained untouched by outside law. Foreign contacts mostly involved visits by traders, whalers, and missionaries. The latter sought to discourage the Maori practice of tattooing (ta moko), while the former quite soon began to see opportunities for trade in preserved tattooed heads.
