Emily Wilcox is completing a book manuscript examining how dance mediated the world to Chinese audiences during the Mao era (1949–76). Based on original research using Chinese-language sources, the book will explore how dance embodied ideas of socialist internationalism, Afro-Asian solidarity, and Tricontinentalism during the cold war.
