Rodríguez (artist-researcher at Équipe Danse, Université Paris 8-Saint Denis) has written a valuable guide tracing flamenco’s rich history from 1808 to 2018 that particularly details the contributions of gender-nonconforming dancers. The flamenco dancers featured here used their activism, gender identities, sexual orientations, and unruly bodies to dispel preconceived notions and help the flamenco art form evolve. Rodríguez is well-versed in flamencology. He uses his background as a choreographer to provide a complete analysis of every aspect of flamenco performance, including gendered dance philosophies, and explores the relationship between audiences and dancers. The monumental treasure of this work is its extensive compilation of revolutionary queer flamenco performances that readers can reference and see in film footage; performances like these were taking place in the U.S. as early as 1894. VERDICT Scholars and queer history readers will gain newfound knowledge and deep flamenco appreciation from Rodríguez’s comprehensive research. This significant contribution to dance scholarship is critical for all performing arts collections.
