Critical Race Theory and Copyright in American Dance: Whiteness as Status Property

by Caroline Joan S. Picart

Book Overview

The effort to win federal protection for dance in the United States was a racialized and gendered contest. Picart traces the evolution of choreographic works from being federally non-copyrightable to becoming a category potentially copyrightable under the 1976 Copyright Act, specifically examining Lo?e Fuller, George Balanchine, and Martha Graham.
