Tracing Duende: On Digging Our Embodied History
A CHAPTER FROM: "SONIDOS NEGROS: ON THE BLACKNESS OF FLAMENCO ENTITLED "GOOD SHEPHERD, BUMPKIN SHEPHERD: DISTINCTION IN VILLANO GAMBETAS (GAMBOLS) AND ZAPATETAS (STAMPS)."
K. Meira Goldberg will discuss the first chapter of Sonidos Negros: On the Blackness of Flamenco: "Good Shepherd, Bumpkin Shepherd: Distinction in Villano Gambetas (gambols) and Zapatetas (stomps)." This chapter studies the colonialist narrative of the pastor bobo, or foolish shepherd, as he teeters between clod-hopping jumps and aristocratic uprightness, between damnation and Christian epiphany, between Blackness and Whiteness.

The Body Questions: Celebrating Flamenco's Tangled Roots - book talk
Conversation with authors Karen Silen, Ryan Rockmore, Constance Valis Hill, Lynn Brooks, and Guillermo Castro, with editor K. Meira Goldberg.
This collection of essays poses a series of questions revolving around nonsense, cacophony, queerness, race, and the dancing body. How can flamenco, as a diasporic complex of performance and communities of practice frictionally and critically bound to the complexities of Spanish history, illuminate theories of race and identity in performance? How can we posit, and argue for, genealogical relationships within and between genres across the vast expanses of the African—and Roma—diaspora?

Fit Authors Talks: Meira Golberg on Sonidos Negros
Professor K. Meira Goldberg discusses her book Sonidos Negros: On the Blackness of Flamenco.
How is the politics of Blackness figured in the flamenco dancing body? What does flamenco dance tell us about the construction of race in the Atlantic world? Sonidos Negros traces how, in the span between 1492 and 1933, the vanquished Moor became Black, and how this figure, enacted in terms of a minstrelized Gitano, paradoxically came to represent Spain itself.
