The authors put a particular focus on those whose voices have been silenced, unacknowledged, and\/or uncredited - exploring racial prejudice and injustice, intersectional feminism, protest movements, and economic conditions, as well as demonstrating how socio-political issues and movements affect and are affected by dance. In looking at concert dance, vernacular dance, ritual dance, and the convergence of these forms, the chapters acknowledge the richness of dance in today's USA and the strong foundations on which it stands. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMilestones are a range of accessible textbooks, breaking down the need-to-know moments in the social, cultural, political, and artistic development of foundational subject areas. This book is ideal for undergraduate courses that embrace culturally responsive pedagogy and seek to shift the direction of the lens from western theatrical dance towards the wealth of dance forms in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElizabeth McPherson\u003c\/strong\u003e, Professor and Director of the Dance Division at Montclair State University, is the editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Bennington School of the Dance: A History in Writings and Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e and author of \u003ci\u003eThe Contributions of Martha Hill to American Dance and Dance Education\u003c\/i\u003e.
