She liked absolutes...with which Catholicism dovetailed nicely (yes, I slammed the Church of Rome with an indirect holy ghost reference–I am shameless).<br /><br />She was, I might add, a racist. Yes. Like many Carribeans, she fancied herself untainted by the genetic pool of an island infused with native/aboriginals and descendants of African slaves, dumped there some hundred years earlier. In that tropical melting pot she and hers maintained that they were <i>Spaniards</i>.<br /><br />This combination of authority worship and bigotry, I posit, appealed to her narrow and hard-ass view of things...and led her to choose awful namesakes for her sons.Epiphenitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068437430680616468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034299.post-33496263639392780052011-01-18T20:36:07.718-06:002011-01-18T20:36:07.718-06:00Ah...another fan waiting for Enita's 1st publi...Ah...another fan waiting for Enita's 1st publication...Victoria, I hope your words will ring louder than the members of the Queen's family!<br />I read Butterflies and never saw the name-connection. Loved the book, am having a hard time understanding the abuela's intentions with naming her sons.dragonfly ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00877181455864388950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7034299.post-36551255067981262362011-01-18T18:33:27.746-06:002011-01-18T18:33:27.746-06:00Good Lord, Enita.

Please write a book already.<br />I'm thirty minutes (no sign of stopping) into your link to this blog I didn't know existed. <br />Have Mercy! <br />I HAVE to finish my syllabus for tomorrow morning!<br /><br />I'd buy four copies immediately for my best friends.Victoria Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758826424059230301noreply@blogger.com
