Abstract

In her conclusion Purkayastha sees all five artists as making important advances from the "proto feministic" Tagore (p. 167) through the feminized body of Uday Shankar on his international tours, which the author links to his colonial subject position, through the efforts of Bardhan to choreograph empowered female bodies in an equalized socialist perspective, to criticism of patriarchy in the work of the Sircars. The book articulately presents a transnational picture of the dancer, showing ties to British, continental, and Soviet movements in the arts. The author situates each artist in the sociopolitical frame in which he or she worked. These artists expressed a sensibility that is both authentically Indian and fully modern.
