I'm still desperately trying to fix my printer. I managed to actually study some European history today, and read a bit of Recovering History, Constructing Race, a book in which the author traces the settling of the Southwest US, and Northern Mexico, and with it, the beginnings of the Hispanic race in the various fighting, having sex with, and trading ideas and cultures that Spainards, various types of Indian, and Africans engaged in with each other.
