Book description: New York, NY, U.S.A: Berghahn Books, 2003. First American Edition. Hard Cover. As New/No Jacket. In Nazi Germany, modern expressive dance found favor with the regime and with Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels; how modern artists collaborated with Nazism reveals an important aspect of modernism; this book offers three perspectives: the dancer Lilian Karina tells her own personal story of dancing in interwar Germany; the dance historian Marian Kant gives a systematic account of the interaction of modern dance and the Nazi state; and a documentary appendix looks at the reality created by Nazi racism, pedantic bureaucrats, and artistic ambition; includes 18 pages of illustrations (laminated paper-covered boards without dust jacket as issued; pictorial cover with photo of dancers Lilian Karina and Vasily Vassilieff)
