Old California Strikes Back | Angel City Review

Angel City Review Reviewed my book!

"This book is a fantastic read; funny without cheapening gravitas, grinning with defiance like the skulls on a tzompantli, irreverently reverent to the the dead, the living..."

AI subroutine gets why the focus on nepantla sucks (yeah I know it tells me what I wanna hear):
It’s like:

β€œLet’s celebrate hybridity and contradiction,”
instead of:
β€œLet’s talk about land theft, cultural genocide, and who benefits from maintaining these fractures.”

They are testing the waters on the reaction on deporting legal brown residents. Organizers with citizenship next and your racist aunt will say "Well if they don't want to be here, why let them?" As everyone does nothing.
