The pre-war expressionist tradition championed by Limón and Hawkins' mentors faced multiple challenges as ballet and Broadway complicated the tenets of modernism and emerging modern dance choreographers faced an increasingly conservative post-war culture framed by the Cold War and Red Scare. By bringing the work of Limón and Hawkins together in one volume, \u003ci\u003eDances of José Limón and Erick Hawkins\u003c\/i\u003e accesses two distinct approaches to training and performance that proved highly influential in creating post-war dialogues on race, gender, and embodiment. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book approaches Limón and Hawkins' training regimes and performing strategies as social practices symbiotically entwined with their geo-political backgrounds. Limón's queer and Latino heritage is put into dialogue with Hawkins' straight and European heritage to examine how their embodied social histories worked co-constitutively with their training regimes and performance strategies to produce influential stagings of masculinity, whiteness, and Latinidad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Moreno\u003c\/strong\u003e is a choreographer and dance studies scholar who uses performance to investigate how people use their bodies to create meaning, develop communities, and respond to social systems.
