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.
