Tizon's love for Lola, and Lola's love for him, were not *incidental* to the violations of her rights, of her enslavement.
-
-
Does Tizon quite get there? Not really, kind of, maybe. But I got there after reading. That's why his article will linger with me.
-
The coda to this is that I am no longer convinced that Tizon didn't realize Lola was his mother. I thought so this morning.
-
I changed my mind because I found out that "Lola" means grandmother, and he doesn't say so in the article.
-
He makes what I think is a purposeful omission. It's possible he knew and wanted readers to get there themselves.
-
My bad, I'm being corrected-- Lola is an honorific and it's hard to translatehttps://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/864710846219337728 …
-
Final note, I am not erasing her status as a slave by calling her a wife, I am calling marriages (some today, all historically) enslavement.
-
Thank you for this. You will find that many disagree with you, but you've given another way to look at this story that I think is valuable.

My mother is/was really awful person, as it happens. It is my sincerest wish that I have managed to poison her.
