abstract="“¡Los gringos vienen!” focuses on the ways a particular Afro-Latin community in Portobelo, Panama, who call themselves and their performance tradition “Congo,” negotiate encounters with global tourists. In so doing, it links notions of “respectability” with double-consciousness to explore differences between female Congo “local” and “like-local” performances. “Like-local” names Congo “packaged” presentations intended primarily for global tourists who enter Portobelo by bus or boat for one- to two-hour mid-day excursions. “¡Los gringos vienen!” attends to a doubling of the gaze whereby the Congos watch tourists watching them and annotate their cultural practices accordingly.<p />",
