{"product_id":"skin-colored-pointes-nyama-mccarthy-brown-9781476687056","title":"Skin Colored Pointes: Interviews with Women of Color in Ballet","description":"\u003cp\u003e Predominantly white casting in ballet has led many to wonder, \"Where are all the black swans?\" This book sheds light on female dancers of color, including thirteen primary accounts from African American, Latina, and Asian women in ballet. Topics covered include dance training, casting (and color-casting), employment, discrimination, implicit bias, success, and achievement. Dancers discuss in detail the obstacles many dancers of color face during training; considerations facing some women of color when seeking employment; performance challenges related to company work; and the teachers, parents, and community members that paved a way and widened spaces for them. Through the stories and experiences of the women featured here, models of inclusive practices and allyship are shared. The book culminates with a section providing teaching tools to support inclusive learning spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nyama McCarthy-Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476687056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476687056\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland and Company, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.80w x 0.60d","brand":"Nyama McCarthy-Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44410439991551,"sku":"9781476687056","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a3519512-577f-456a-a955-545cddd4aa24.jpg?v=1697536237","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/skin-colored-pointes-nyama-mccarthy-brown-9781476687056","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
