Editorial Reviews
Dance Magazine
"[Foulkes] places into the social and political context . . the work of. . . . choreographers [who] both shocked and titillated audiences." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
"Julia L. Foulkes' Modern Bodies sheds new light on the rise and fall of 'historic' modern dance. Some of her conclusions are bound to stir controversy. But her idea that modern dance of the 1930s and 1940s embodied the aspirations of a democratic polity that included African Americans, gay men, and self-styled 'revolutionary' dancers of the left adds complexity to a history too often defined solely in terms of heroines and artistic giants. (Lynn Garafola, Barnard College)"
