Uh-oh. Chicanonautica has landed on Thanksgiving again. I should really do something, but what? Been doing this for a long time. Should I do Aztec rituals? Decolonizing the holiday? Food?
Maybe that’s the answer. Rather than repeat myself, I could go back and provide a link to one of my old columns!
So, here's a golden oldie/blast from the past. Way back in 2011. Seems like another world, don’t it? It’s called “Guajolote, Thanksgiving, and Other Words.” Some rasquache, literary riffs, and Chicano weirdness.
Also, I looked it up, “border” in Nahuatl is tlalnamicoyan.
Enjoy the feast. Make your sacrifices.
Ernest Hogan is thankful for being the Father of Chicano Science Fiction. His latest book is Guerrilla Mural of a Siren's Song: 15 Gonzo Science Fiction Stories.
