"Choreographic Politics paints a rich and lively portrait of a
variety of the 20th Century's most well known and sophisticated
state-supported folk dance ensembles, combining a scholar's
interests with a practioner's understanding of the art and craft of
folk dance choreography. All those interested in the
interrelationships between aesthetics, performance, and the power
structures of modern nation-states, will find this a
thought-provoking, valuable book."--Sally Ann Ness, Associate
