BROWN PAPER REPORT

Chicano: another word for: dignity, self-awareness, survival, humanity, identity, messianic goals. People in harmony with themselves.

Brown vision: If Americana was "sensed" through blue Eyes, now brown vision is demanding equal views- polychroma instead of monochroma. Brown eyes have visions too. It's George Washington and Che Guevara homogenized into one. It's Tejerina reclaiming the southwest and its Cesar Chavez synthetizing farm workers into the mania that is middle-class Americana. It's a promise to be - as middle class Americana is a product of a promise to pay.

Critical Point
Not Pax Americana but the social consciousness of Americana

If the scribbling of C/S on walls, bridges, monuments et.al.,
brings to mind vandalism - it's because we are more materially
orientated rather than socially aware.
