About the book: 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.

Working across theater, museums, and public space, his work considers how movement generates knowledge, shaping spatial, cultural, and perceptual experience.
