[Review Of] Ramsay Burt. Alien Bodies: Representations Of Modernity, Race, And Nation In Early Modern Dance, Joanne F. Henry
Ethnic Studies Review
In Alien Bodies, Burt uses interdisciplinary methods to consider the issues of modernity and modernism in relation to the work of several makers of early modern dance. In nine chapters, he carefully examines the social constructions of nation, race, class, and gender as they were inscribed upon the dancing body. The Atlantic is the space and the period between the two great wars the time of this book's focus.
