A play about defiance of systemic racism. Juan de Mérida, an
Afro-Spanish soldier aspires to social advancement in the
Netherlands during the Eighty Years' War (1566-1648). His main
enemies are not Dutch rebels but his white countrymen, whom he
defeats at every attempt to humiliate him. In this play one
encounters military culture, upward mobility, mistaken identities,
defying destiny, royal pageantry, swordfights, cross-dressing,
revenge, homosexual anxiety, and inter-racial marriage. Andrés de
Claramonte’s El valiente negro en Flandes (c.1625) is an
Afrodiasporic play that enjoyed great success and multiple stagings
in Spain and in Latin America. Its 1938 negrista performance in
Havana, Cuba, and Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin, White Masks, attest
to the power of this play to illuminate contemporary racial
dynamics. This is the first annotated, critical edition and English
translation of El valiente negro en Flandes with a comprehensive
introduction, three critical essays, the critical apparatus
comparing the eleven extant versions of the play, and an appendix
with alternative scenes and related historical documents. A tool
for scholars of early modern European literature and a pedagogical
aid to discuss the early discourses on Blackness in Spain and its
trans-Atlantic empire.
