I am leaving you my regular readers homework while I am gone. This is a one-time only, Elenamary mini-book club. The piece is short and only 12 pages long. Read it and we will discuss in a post on July 25th. The author of the piece will also be posting responses to any questions you might have.
The book, titled Colonize This!, is a collection of essays by young women of color. I ask that you read the essay of the same title as the book, Colonize This! by Cristina Tzintzún.
You need not buy the book. Most libraries carry it. You can also go to a bookstore and read the one essay. Any questions email me [elenamary/at/hotmail/dot/com].
Also, while I am gone some of you should get gravatars — those little pictures next to your name when you comment.
My roommate has that book. It looks like I’ll get to participate in this little book club.
Yo conozco a esa Cristina, es una vegana a toda! Yo tambien participo…
Yeah, I read that article. I liked it, but I didn’t really understand the part where the space aliens reveal that they were the ones who stole Elena’s hairbrush.
