Recenzii
Vivid, engaging, and insightful, Flexible Bodies: British South Asian Dancers in an Age of Neoliberalism draws its readers into the working lives of dancers navigating Cool Britannia's transformation into the UK of post-7/7 and Brexit. Well-researched and deftly argued, Flexible Bodies makes a compelling case for understanding dance as an integral part of neoliberalism's demands for and restrictions on human movement.
Flexible Bodies is the first monograph that skillfully and boldly examines the South Asian dance sector in the UK by centring the lives, labours, material conditions, artistries and hybrid postcolonialities of the dancers at the intersections of British multiculturalism and neoliberalism. Kedhar's dexterity to bring together complex ethnographic fieldwork, historiography, performance analysis and political economic analysis is commendable. Thoroughly researched, evocatively written and compellingly argued, the study signals the futures of dance studies as fundamentally interdisciplinary and places the racialisations of danced labour at its heart.
