Summary "Drawing on fresh archival material, Catherine Gunther Kodat questions several commonly held beliefs about the purpose and meaning of modernist cultural productions during the Cold War. Rather than read the dance through a received understanding of Cold War culture, Don't Act, Just Dance reads Cold War culture through the dance, and in doing so establishes a new understanding of the politics of modernism in the arts of the period"-- Provided by publisher.
