Abstract

The poem "Abuela, Will You Tell Me—" explores themes of identity, heritage, and cultural loss, focusing on the speaker's connection to their Taíno ancestors and the complexities of belonging. It reflects on the erasure of lineage and the struggle to reclaim a fragmented ancestral history amid questions of legitimacy and cultural inheritance. The speaker grapples with the ambiguity of their identity in relation to geographic and historical boundaries, seeking understanding and affirmation from an elder figure. The poem highlights the emotional and existential challenges faced by descendants of marginalized indigenous peoples in the Caribbean. [Extracted from the article]
