"""Wrought from personal tragedy, SanSan Kwan's poignant Love Dances focuses on the ways intercultural duets model ethical modes for reaching across cultural, racial, national, gendered, and aesthetic divides to destabilize power dynamics between East and West, address trauma and loss, engender tolerance, and most radically, constitute embodied acts of love. Beautifully written, deftly theorized, and deeply moving."" -- Rebecca Rossen, author of Dancing Jewish: Jewish Identity in American Modern and Postmodern Dance ""Simultaneously heartfelt and critical, Love Dances provides a nuanced analysis of intercultural duets. Through vivid and compelling prose, Kwan mobilizes emotion as a means of rethinking collaboration across the divides of race, gender, sexuality, citizenship, age, and ability. In the process, Kwan reframes not only the promises and pitfalls of intercultural collaboration but also the crises of our current economic and political moment."" -- Janet O'Shea, author of Risk, Failure, Play: What Dance Reveals about Martial Arts Training"
