In one of my mad attempts to get rid of things, I am dropping four issues of Revista Iberoamericana before I lose my will power. It is not a big decision since I have library access to this journal, but on the other hand it is because I think I will sit calmly and read … More Revista Iberoamericana
I am interested in seeing how racism operates in these representations. I do not think this has really been done. Speaker: “The [white gallery] spaces are really violent [against Blackness].” This explains a lot: the space of my department is really violent against Spanish. Axé.
Read all about them. Axé.
This is an exact description of what happened to me with my ill-fated Vallejo book. Its ill fate killed me and it took me a long time — seven years, I believe — to understand. If I had understood it then I could have worked on or with the situation. But I did not understand … More Pérez Firmat

And then getting “elided,” as I keep saying. Race keeps … More What is happening in those books?
Technically, my best student is the one who has made Full at an R1. Really, the best one came from much worse circumstances and with the B.A., now has another promotion in their job. That is the one my lazy, slacking self gave lazy, slacking extra points to so they could graduate and get out. … More Really rebellious
This group is a non-profit but it depends upon the work of one member who thinks of that work as a way to live. They would like salary, and they have referred to us as a business. They are already getting reimbursed for mileage at the IRS business, not charity rate because they wanted to … More Why
