Recovery

St. Louis is freezing. Saw the Arch to enter the West, the hordes of older white men in suits attending the Western History Association conference, fatal. Pero, pues da gusto estar aquí en Gringolandia. La verdad, Houston raras veces se siente tan bolillo.

Here to present a paper, “’Un mexico-texano más’: El sol de Texas y conflictos de nación.” A novel from 1926 about two Mexican immigrant families laboring and living in Tejas by Conrado Espinosa. To be republished next year by Arte Público Press with an introduction based on this paper. Should write more, more will come later, next year when the book is published.
