The Moiseyev Dance Company Tours America: "Wholesome" Comfort during a Cold War: Culture and Politics in the Cold War and Beyond
Autor Dr. Victoria Hallinanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 noi 2023
Drawing on contemporary personal and published accounts, Victoria Hallinan explores why the dancers garnered overwhelming acclaim during their multicity tour and Ed Sullivan Show appearance. The “boy-meets-girl” love stories of the dances, and their idealized view of multiple Soviet cultures living together in harmony, presented a comforting image of post–World War II gender norms and race relations for audiences. Americans saw the dancers—their supposed enemies—as humans rather than agents of communist contagion.

“The Moiseyev Dance Company Tours America is a significant contribution to the fields of dance, cultural diplomacy, and Cold War studies. It will appeal to scholars and readers in American studies, international relations, and other studies of the performing arts.”—Anne Searcy, author of Ballet in the Cold War: A Soviet-American Exchange
