Sandie Holguín is an associate professor of history at the University of Oklahoma, where she teaches European cultural and intellectual history and European feminist thought and gender studies. She specializes in Spanish history and is the author of Creating Spaniards: Culture and National Identity in Republican Spain.
“Holguín’s well-written, witty, and scholarly book on flamenco and
the shaping of modern Spanish national identity helps us understand
the enigmatic tension between Spaniards’ often ambivalent attitudes
toward flamenco and the art form’s enormous success beyond Iberia.”
—Enrique Sanabria, University of New Mexico
“As bracing as the clicking of castanets, this book plunges the
reader into the history of flamenco and charts how this art form
became quintessentially Spanish. Holguín demonstrates how music and
dance take on nationalist overtones—and does so with such verve.”
—Clinton Young, author of Music Theater and Popular Nationalism in
Spain, 1880–1930
