Mixing the Races
APRIL 6, 2010 TUESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
In his first memoir, John Phillip Santos traced his father's Mexican mestizo family back into an indigenous world that flourished before the Spanish conquest. In his new memoir, he turns his gaze to the conquerors, his mother's ancestors. How far back do you have to look on your family tree to find someone of another nationality, allegiance, or race?
