Beatriz Dujovne was born and raised in Buenos Aires, and has lived half of her adult life in the American Midwest. She received a graduate degree in psychology from the University of Buenos Aires, and a Ph.D. from the University of Missouri. She now dances in Buenos Aires and in the United States.
Equal parts history, memoir, and ethnography, In Strangers' Arms is
both an evocative ballad dedicated to Buenos Aires, and an
effective and aesthetic anatomy of the dance form. Dujovne's
account is deeply intelligent, charming, perceptive, and well
researched." —Eric Van Young, Distinguished professor of history,
University of California, San Diego
"Unique among tango books published outside Argentina, In
Strangers' Arms brings us face to face with an intimate tango, one
as far removed from the big stages as it is from the stereotype of
the Latin male." —Sergio Pujol, author of Discepolo, una biografia
argentina
"A must-read for tango aficionados. In her warm, funny, direct
style, Beatriz Dujovne dispels the myths surrounding the dance and
probes the heart of the tango in an honest and accurate portrayal
of the dance and its allure." —Alex Krebs, tango dancer and
musician
