Gallup

"Gallup was that kind of place, interesting, even funny as long as you were just passing through, the way the white tourists did driving down 66, stopping to see the Indian souvenirs. But if you were an Indian, you attended to business and then left, and you were never in that town after dark. That was the warning the old Zunis, and Hopis, and Navajos had about Gallup. The safest way was to avoid bad places after dark.", Silko em Ceremony. quando lá passei, vi só pawn shop, pawn shop, after pawn shop. o que era um sinal de pobreza. mais pawnshops maior a miséria dessa cidade. Gallup, a primeira cidade branca quando se sai da grande reserva. quando os novos compradores de ouro chegaram a Lisboa, não pude deixar de me lembrar de Main Street, Gallup.
