Honorable Mention, Latin American Studies Association Mexico
Section Best Book in the HumanitiesA Revolution in Movement is the
first book to illuminate how collaborations between dancers and
painters shaped Mexico's postrevolutionary cultural identity. K.
Mitchell Snow traces this relationship throughout nearly half a
century of developments in Mexican dance-the emulation of
Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in the 1920s, the adoption of U.S.-style
modern dance in the 1940s, and the creation of ballet-inspired folk
dance in the 1960s. Snow describes the appearances in Mexico by
Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova and Spanish concert dancer Tortola
Valencia, who helped motivate Mexico to express its own national
identity through dance. He discusses the work of muralists and
other visual artists in tandem with Mexico's theatrical dance
world, including Diego Rivera's collaborations with ballet composer
Carlos Chavez; Carlos Merida's leadership of the National School of
Dance; Jose Clemente Orozco's involvement in the creation of the
Ballet de la Ciudad de Mexico; and Miguel Covarrubias, who led the
"golden age" of Mexican modern dance. Snow draws from a rich trove
of historical newspaper accounts and other contemporary documents
to show how these collaborations produced an image of modern Mexico
that would prove popular both locally and internationally and
continues to endure today.
