"Moving Through Conflict: Dance and Politics in Israel" is a book that explores the intersection of dance and politics in Israel and Palestine. The anthology includes translations of articles from Hebrew to English and highlights the ongoing violence between the two regions. It examines the political significance of dance, even if the artists themselves deny it, and includes Palestinian dances and the work of Arab Israeli and Palestinian artists. The book is divided into two parts, focusing on community relations and representational relations, and acknowledges the lack of recognition and research on Palestinian and Arab dance. The editors and authors provide a valuable analysis of the politics embedded in dance in the region and call for more diverse voices to be included in the discussion. [Extracted from the article]
