In a rich, diversified and international career, Carla Blank has been dramaturge, choreographer, stage director, writer, art and architecture critic, defender of women' s rights and of a multicultural America, and more. Fortunately, she has recorded much of her experience in essays now gathered in a single volume.

From her role as stage director in Ramallah through a searing critique of bigotry on Broadway, the storming of the old boys' citadel in architecture, a fine analysis of great women dancers and choreographers, such as the late great Suzushi Hanayagi, to the taking down of " mainstream" cultural historians on abstract art and postmodernism, Carla Blank brilliantly puts words to what the " ocean" of multicultural America feels.

In an exclusive interview with her partner Ishmael Reed, we learn how a curious young Jewish woman from Pittsburgh developed into a committed and eloquent public intellectual.

Industry Reviews
"An effective, valuable historical reference work. A worthwhile acquisition for academic, public, and high school libraries." Library Journal On Bigotry on Broadway "Blank and Reed offer an incisive, critical take on Broadway's past and present; discuss an alternative vision that incorporates the perspectives missing from Broadway; and look toward a more inclusive future. A book for all readers interested in the history of Broadway musicals, theater criticism, and the role of whiteness in Broadway's misrepresentations." Library Journal On Storming the Old Boys' Citadel: Pioneer Women Architects of 19th Century North America "Books like this one are vital in highlighting what our history notes have left out. They remind us to redefine our views and question our records. If we need to redefine the history of architecture today, let it include women." Montreal Review of Books
