{"product_id":"jill-johnston-in-motion-clare-croft-9781478026808","title":"Jill Johnston in Motion: Dance, Writing, and Lesbian Life","description":"Performer, activist, and writer Jill Johnston was a major queer presence in the history of dance and 1970s feminism. She was the first critic to identify postmodernism's arrival in American dance and was a fierce advocate for the importance of lesbians within feminism. In \u003ci\u003eJill Johnston in Motion\u003c\/i\u003e, Clare Croft tracks Johnston's entwined innovations and contributions to dance and art criticism and activism. She examines Johnston's journalism and criticism--in particular her \u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e columns published between 1960 and 1980--and her books of memoir and biography. At the same time, Croft attends to Johnston's appearances as both dancer and audience member and her physical and often spectacular participation at feminist protests. By bringing together Johnston's criticism and activism, her writing and her physicality, Croft emphasizes the effect that the arts, particularly dance, had on Johnston's feminist thinking in the 1970s and traces lesbian feminism's roots in avant-garde art practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clare Croft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478026804\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478026808\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Clare Croft","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46881061863679,"sku":"9781478026808","price":104.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1947b5e4-a298-412b-8241-04f68c611e59.jpg?v=1747970554","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/jill-johnston-in-motion-clare-croft-9781478026808","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
