Dance, Sex, and Gender: Signs of Identity, Dominance, Defiance, and Desire

By Judith Lynne Hanna

Book Overview

"Ambitious in its scope and interdisciplinary in its purview. . . . Without doubt future researchers will want to refer to Hanna's study, not simply for its rich bibliographical sources but also for suggestions as to how to proceed with their own work. Dance, Sex, and Gender will initiate a discussion that should propel a more methodologically informed study of dance and gender."-Randy Martin, Journal of the History of Sexuality

A great book

I chanced upon this book when I was researching the origins of women's dance in the Middle East. The book was very helpful with this specific topic, and--more importantly--it helped me understand how dance, sex roles, sexuality, and culture intertwine. Hannah covers historic and contemporary dance forms from around the world. Highly recommended!
