- Double-weighted statement
- This is the first monograph to theoretically propose a way of reading the iconography and dancing body of the mulata in Cuba through a complex lens of critical dance/performance studies. Moving through historical methods, archival work, performative writing and feminist historiography, this book frames understandings of identity through the registers of race, nation and gender and uses that frame to sift through bilingual archival material. It incorporates details from many interviews with significant cultural workers and performers from the popular dance and music history of C20th Cuba, and analysis of material made first available to an English reading audience.
