Abstract

Black people in Abya Yala do not know where they come from. Black people in Abya Yala have no history, other than that of the boat and the kidnapping. Black people in Abya Yala only know that they do not belong, that they are a species brought (kidnapped), rejected by everyone, and that they learned through whip-ping, that they were who they are. This fragment talks about a mestiza woman and her history. This history talks about the mistreatment and pain that the colonizer and the kidnapper perpetuated for many years. This history talks about us, children of kidnapping, rape, racism, on an island where there was nowhere to run and
where we experienced other pains.
