Description

The definition of Asian American dance is as contested as the definition of “Asian American.” The term encompasses now not just a range of national origins but additionally a dazzling number of theoretical frameworks, disciplinary methods, and genres—from traditional to postmodern to hip hop.
            The contributors to this volume deal with such topics as the role of the 1960s Asian American Movement in creating Japanese American taiko groups, and the revel in of internment throughout World War II influencing butoh dance in Canada. Essays about artists such as Jay Hirabayashi, Alvin Tolentino, Shen Wei, Kun-Yang Lin, Yasuko Yokoshi, Eiko & Koma, Sam Kim, Roko Kawai, and Denise Uyehara look closely on the politics of ways Asian aesthetics are set into motion and marketed. The quantity includes first-person narratives, interviews, ethnography, cultural studies, performance studies, and comparative ethnic studies.
