"Memoria" Is a Friend of Ours: On the Discourse of Color

Victor Villanueva

Abstract

She is a contradiction in stereotypes, not to be pegged. He likes her right off. She wants to go to Belltown, the Denny Regrade, to take photos. He wants to go along. He does, feeling insecure and full of bravado, slipping into the walk of bravado he had perfected as a child in Brooklyn. Stops into a small cafieat the outskirts ofdowntown, at the entry to the Regrade. It's a Frenchstyle cafi, the Boulangerie, or some such. To impress her, he speaks French. Une tasse de caf6, s'il vous plait. Et croissants pour les deux. Don't laugh. It's how he said it.
