Opis

This book assesses how the "cosmic generation" in Mexico connected the nation-body and the dancer's body in artistic movements between 1920 and 1950. The arts were of critical import in times of political and social transition, and the dynamic between the dancer's body and the national body shifted as the government stance shifted.
