"Garafola's sense of discovery permeates the book and is one of its chief pleasures. She is unusual among dance scholars in showing how economics, revolution, racism and rank push and pull at the sometimes insular theatrical world."--Monica Moseley, Associate Curator, Dance Division, The New York Public Library
