The effort to win federal protection for dance in the United States was a racialized and gendered contest. Picart traces the evolution of choreographic works from being federally non-copyrightable to becoming a category potentially copyrightable under the 1976 Copyright Act; specifically examining Loiacute;e Fuller; George Balanchine; and Martha Graham.

Beautiful and historically valuable bookBy CharissaThis is not just a pretty coffee table book. This collection of beautiful shots of synagogues in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas includes a great introductory history of synagogue architecture and the Jewish community in said areas. Well written and carefully put together; these histories are concise and easy to digest.Each photograph (lovely in person but still quite nice in the Kindle version) includes a short history of the synagogue pictured. Most of the photographs are credited to the author himself. The pictures show a wide range of aesthetics and the great diversity that is found in the architecture of synagogues in the Philadelphia area.Preislers love of synagogue architecture shines through in ever page of this book. It is a beautiful piece for anyone with a love of synagogues; history; architecture; or any combination of the aforementioned. This book grew out of one persons love of American synagogues and was adopted into publication by the History Press for its historical value. This is a great addition to any home; both for the educational value and the sheer beauty of it.
