Hello

This is a home to every wandering Chicano and Chicana.

Who are the Chicanos?
Anyone of Mexican or Latino background who tries to find an identity in the melting pot of North America. Anyone who identifies with Mexican or Latino culture. Anyone who thinks they are a Chicano and who would not want to be anything else. This is a loose definition but then culture is porous and voluntary; we self identify.

As descendants of the indigenous nomads who settled North America and the Spanish invaders who conquered those peoples, we Chicanos seek an identity and an effective role in America.
Our ancestors have helped build the USA and now we seek to understand and build and our history.

I have written about radical Chicano politics and Latinos in America. In this blog I will tie things together and hope to stimulate a dialogue. I've invited some of my alter egos to help the conversation.
Sebastian de la O will join me from time to time, and some others.
