There is certain need to box within a larger category one’s given position on an issue, reducing complex life and evolving ideas within very rigid boundaries, atomist minds with method driven views of humanity; worse when it happens at a point when your hate of groups is so powerful that you would be the last person to be a communist; although, you love to share your salsa skills with a dancing partner, perfectly moving with someone else who understands the history of the dance and how to use our bodies to play at seduction, or split a particular type of banana mofongo dish with a friend, and converse about its relationship to slavery and economy and history and belonging, remembering, connecting to the past, as the Africans brought hidden with them seeds of a very rare banana the European would have never included in their grand merchant and greed driven plans, guineitos, and its related and very African recipe and name: mofongo.
