Warren (professor emeritus of dance, U. of Maryland) creates an interesting account and assessment of the life and work of American dance pioneer Anna Sokolow, whose nomadic career is divided between New York, Mexico and Israel. Drawing on material from almost 100 interviews, he tells how she pioneered the development of a personal approach to movement and created masterpieces that take an unflinching look at the darker sides of experience. Contains b&w photographs of the dancer and her work. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
