Published March 23, 2021

In Dancing with the Revolution: Power, Politics, and Privilege in Cuba, Schwall examines how, during the Cuban revolution, Cuban dancers used their bodies and nonverbal choreography to engage in political debate and exert their own ideas of a more radical concept of social justice onto society. Schwall also makes a case that in the histories of Latin America and the Caribbean, dance offers a broad perspective that has often been overlooked.
