Reviews

Author, Laurel Victoria Gray, through her ground-breaking book, Women’s Dance Traditions of Uzbekistan, reveals a comprehensive and fearless probe into the little-known passion and courage of women of Uzbekistan. Gray, a brilliant teacher, colleague and world-class cultural scholar at George Washington University, Washington, DC, delivers enormous insight into the often closed-door worlds of women along the Silk Road. * Maida Withers, Professor of Dance, George Washington University, USA *
