"Dances of José Limón and Erick Hawkins examines staging's of masculinity, whiteness,
and Latinidad in the work of US modern dance choreographers, José Limón (1908-1972)
and Erick Hawkins (1908-1994). Focusing on the period between 1945 to 1980, this book
analyzes Limón and Hawkins' work during a time when modern dance was forming new relationships
to academic and governmental institutions, mainstream markets, and notions of embodiment.
The pre-war expressionist tradition championed by Limón and Hawkins' mentors faced
multiple challenges as ballet and Broadway complicated the tenets of modernism and
emerging modern dance choreographers faced an increasingly conservative post-war culture
framed by the Cold War and Red Scare. By bringing the work of Limón and Hawkins together
in one volume, Dances of José Limón and Erick Hawkins accesses two distinct approaches
to training and performance that proved highly influential in creating post-war dialogues
on race, gender, and embodiment. This book approaches Limón and Hawkins' training
regimes and performing strategies as social practices symbiotically entwined with
their geo-political backgrounds. Limón's queer and Latino heritage is put into dialogue
with Hawkins' straight and European heritage to examine how their embodied social
histories worked co-constitutively with their training regimes and performance strategies
to produce influential staging's of masculinity, whiteness, and Latinidad"
