Reviews for Dancing across Borders: Danzas y Bailes Mexicanos
"This stimulating collection expands our understanding of Mexican dance's significance by employing dance as a prism through which to view broader sociocultural issues and meaning. It sets a new standard for anthropological dance studies far beyond its U.S.-Mexico focus."
