If the journal and the planned Norton anthology take on his character, they will not prescribe what counts as specifically Latino, Chicano, Hispanic, or Latin American. His own mixed heritage is the rule, not the exception. The work of Octavio Paz, if anything, has convinced him that the subject of Latin America is the subject of the Western world in its entirety. Being Hispanic doesn't mean having brown skin or having the last name Rodriguez. We are Spaniards and Asians and Jews and Muslims.
Publication dates are tentative.
