- Summary:
- "Border Crossings challenges previous histories of modern dance to consider how war, inequality and injustice shaped 20th century performance art. This collection demonstrates how exiled or marginalized artists catalyzed modern dance--its ethos, vision and design--giving voice to crucial issues of geopolitical circumstance and structural racism. Crossing borders--physical, geographical, racial, artistic, spiritual--either by choice or by force, became a historical circumstance out of people's control. These crossings are woven into the grammar of 'the modern' in early 20th century dance. They are its DNA"--Front cover flap
