Most of her life. I’ve been thinking about this—maybe it’s only through the father that you retain the identity in this mind-set, which doesn’t consider lived experience. I mean it’s incredible what these people did to mestizaje. Instead of taking into account the beauty of mixtures, they reduced it to an essence.

I just want to go back to the point 34 Angie made earlier about how I see myself as a Chicano cultural critic because I do think we do travel in our critical projects.
