Contemporary Directions in Asian American Dance
Edited by Yutian Wong

“A methodologically diverse and eclectic approach to Asian American dance studies, where dance is both method and content. These essays illuminate the ways that dance shapes, troubles, and pushes against the contours of what counts as Asian American cultural production. ”
—Priya Srinivasan, author of Sweating Saris
