One man in this study answered, Music is something that goes on inside my head, and is sort of divorced from, to a large extent, the rest of my body. How did this man's head become divorced from his body? To answer this\u003cbr\u003equestion, Maxine Craig sought out men who love music but hate to dance. Combining interviews, participant observation and archival research, \u003cem\u003eSorry I Don't Dance \u003c\/em\u003euncovers the recent origins of cultural assumptions regarding sex, race, and the capacity to dance. From the beginning of the twentieth\u003cbr\u003ecentury through the Swing Era young men of all races danced. But in the 1960s suburbanization, homophobia, and fragmentation of music cultures drove white men from the dance floor, and feminized, sexualized and racialized dance. \u003cem\u003eSorry I Don't Dance\u003c\/em\u003e reveals how changing beliefs concerning gender, \u003cbr\u003erace, class, and sexuality over the past half-century have redefined what it means to be a man in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maxine Leeds Craig\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.19w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199845293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaxine Leeds Craig \u003c\/strong\u003eis Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies at the Univeristy of California, Davis.
