520    "Argentinean tango is a global phenomenon. Since its 
       origin among immigrants from the slums of Buenos Aires and
       Montevideo, it has crossed and re-crossed many borders.Yet,
       never before has tango been danced by so many people and 
       in so many different places as today. Argentinean tango is
       more than a specific music and style of dancing. It is 
       also a cultural imaginary which embodies intense passion, 
       hyper-heterosexuality, and dangerous exoticism. In the 
       wake of its latest revival, tango has become both a 
       cultural symbol of Argentinean national identity and a 
       transnational cultural space in which a modest, yet 
       growing number of dancers from different parts of the 
       globe meet on the dance floor. Through interviews and 
       ethnographical research in Amsterdam and Buenos Aires, 
       Kathy Davis shows why a dance from another era and another
       place appeals to men and women from different parts of the
       world and what happens to them as they become caught up in
       the tango salon culture. She shows how they negotiate the 
       ambivalences, contradictions, and hierarchies of gender, 
       sexuality, and global relations of power between North and
       South in which Argentinean tango is - and has always been 
       - embroiled. Davis also explores her uneasiness about her 
       own passion for a dance which - when seen through the lens
       of contemporary critical feminist and postcolonial 
       theories - seems, at best, odd, and, at worst, 
       disreputable and even a bit shameful. She uses the 
       disjuncture between the incorrect pleasures and 
       complicated politics of dancing tango as a resource for 
       exploring the workings of passion as experience, as 
       performance, and as cultural discourse. She concludes that
       dancing tango should be viewed less as a love/hate embrace
       with colonial overtones than a passionate encounter across
       many different borders between dancers who share a desire 
       for difference and a taste of the 'elsewhere.'Dancing 
       Tango is a vivid, intriguing account of an important 
       global cultural phenomenon"--|cProvided by publisher.
