This MELT Reading Group will engage with text from the book “Ways to Move: Black Insurgent Grammars” by Jonathan González. Moving between archival fragments, rehearsal notes, and speculative memory, “Ways to Move: Black Insurgent Grammars” traces the embodied frequencies and assembled states of Black life. González theorizes Blackness as a grammar, occupying the interstices of white colonial culture; Black movement and expression are both defined by and break down the hegemonic. Through a consideration of land, politics, magic, and movement, this hybrid work performs the perpetually unfinished task of resistance.
