Srinivasan merges ethnography, history, critical race theory, performance and post-colonial studies among other disciplines to investigate the embodied experience of Indian dance. The dancers' sweat stained and soaked saris, the aching limbs are emblematic of global circulations of labor, bodies, capital, and industrial goods.DanceSocial aspectsIndiaDanceSocial aspectsUnited StatesWomen dancersIndiaSocial conditionsWomen dancersUnited StatesSocial conditionsBharata natyamSocial aspectsUnited StatesForeign workers, East IndianUnited StatesSocial conditionsEast IndiansUnited StatesEthnic identityDanceSocial aspectsDanceSocial aspectsWomen dancersSocial conditions.Women dancersSocial conditions.Bharata natyamSocial aspectsForeign workers, East IndianSocial conditions.East IndiansEthnic identity.793.3/1934Srinivasan Priya1972-1484451MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781467603321Sweating saris3703072UNINA
