   About Canary Sing
The mulatto in America functions as a canary in a coal mine. Canaries were used by coal miners to gauge how poisonous the air underground was. They would bring a canary in with them, and if it grew sick and died they knew the air was bad and eventually everyone would be poisoned by the fumes. Likewise, mulattos have historically been the gauge of how poisonous American race relations were. The fate of the mulatto in history and literature will manifest the symptoms that will eventually infect the rest of the nation. We are the first generation of canaries to survive, a little injured perhaps, but alive! (Danzy Senna, Caucasia)

To the 206,
This show is to keep me on the streets and out of jail, please come through and help support,
the goal is 250$ or higher, which is needed with the utmost urgency, otherwise a 6 month jail
term is in my imediate future, which inturn will leave me homeless,
due to my criminal record, the court system is trying to put me in a financial bind that on my
own cannot be met due to the slim-ass time requirement which is the 10th of july, please 206, keep me free,



All my love,
Rufio.

please repost to all the homies

hey I saw you'll be performing at Evergreen! Thats rad - we'll have to get together before for a drink or something!
Also, I just read an essay that I thought you'd both find really interesting - its about relationships between British men & Indian women during the colonial era, and the researchers challenges in even finding information for her project . Its called National Narrative and the Politics of Miscegenation and its by Durba Ghosh. I read it in the book Archive Stories, but you could probably find it elsewhere as well.
