Dance in Palestine has a history as complex and contentious as the land itself. Whether dismissed as bacchantic madness by Bible tourists in the 19th Century, revived and glorified by Zionists, Pan-Arabists and Palestinian Nationalists in the 20th Century, or rejected by Islamic Reformists in the 21st Century, dance in Palestine has a rich and elusive story that remains to be told. 'Raising Dust' traces one dancer's journey into Palestine's past and present. Through historical archives, the memories of dancers of yesteryear and into today's vibrant performing arts scene, Nicholas Rowe shows how dance has acted as a barometer of social change, a forum for debate and a means of expressing forbidden ideas. Far from apolitical, this most physical of art forms has often defined the political mood of the day. Sumptuously illustrated, the author provides a unique, rare and compelling cultural history of dance in Palestine.

Recensioner i media

""Dancer/choreographer-turned-scholar, Rowe writes in a manner that is at once personal and academic...Situating this study at the crossroads of social, historical, religious, and ethnic issues, Rowe demonstrates that dance, in this case Palestinian dance, is inherently political. A solid resourse for students of dance and Middle Eastern history and culture.""--Choice ""Delightfully written, flavoured as it is with autobiographical account and insightful commentary...this pleasantly designed and well produced book makes a powerfully fresh innovative contribution"" -- Douglas Pratt, Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
