Modern Bodies: Dance and American Modernism from Martha Graham to Alvin Ailey
"[Foulkes's] 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, author of Diaghilev's Ballets Russes
