These are my
contributor copies of Altermundos: Latin@ Speculative Literature,Film, and Popular Culture
edited by Cathryn Josefina Merla-Watson and B.V. Olguín. It features
my artwork and “Chicanonautica Manifesto”--in which I declare
that “Chicano is a science fiction state of being”--plus Daoine S.
Bachran's “From Code to Codex: Tricksterizing the Digital Divide in
Ernest Hogan's Smoking Mirror Blues”
and other essays that mention and discuss my work and otherwise make
me look like somekinda Chicano sci-fi chingón.
It's
also cock full of stuff that proves that visions of the future and
traditions of wild imagination aren't the intellectual property of
English-speaking heterosexual white men. I've started reading it, and
am hooked. I'm also rethinking my concepts of the directions and
possibilities of Latinoid civilization in the 21st
century.
Maybe
the Intergalactic Barrio is only the beginning . . .
