Sorry I don't dance : why men refuse to move
Craig, Maxine LeedsAuthor
While it may seem natural and obvious that most white men don't dance, it is actually a recent phenomenon tied to changing norms of gender, race, class, and sexuality. Combining archival sources, interviews, and participant observation, this book examines how, within the US, recreational dance became associated with women rather than men, youths rather than adults, and ethnic minorities rather than whites.
