Critical Moves
«“Randy Martin has written a bold and interesting book, imaginative and deftly presented. Few political theorists understand dance and dancing as well as Martin does.”—Jane Desmond, editor of Meaning in Motion: New Cultural Studies of Dance»
Illustrates how the study and practice of dance can reanimate arrested prospects for progressive politics and social change. This book engages a range of performances and demonstrates how a critical reflection on dance helps promote fluency in the language of mobilisation that political theory alludes to yet rarely speaks.
