:/ I was at this panel too, although I'm not sure if you saw me or not; I was in the front row, in line with Nakashima-Brown. I agree that the panel was really focused on the 60s and hippies, not to mention white people. I was weirded out by the focus on historical references instead of fiction, and the non-mention of any non-white revolutions (except for India....?).
Also, wasn't this panel supposed to focus on fiction? The only references I can remember being made to any fiction, was L. Timmel Duchamp, to her own fiction.
I'm at work now, but will probably be more elaborate when I type up my own panel report. Mostly, I was disappointed because I attended another panel that Kinkaid and Nakashima-Brown were both on, and enjoyed it immensely.
