Annotate each stanza: For each stanza, make a note, summarizing what the stanza is about, and what the speaker is saying. What i

s the topic/subject? How is the author feeling?
Aurora Levins Morales “Child of the Americas”
I am a child of the Americas,
A light-skinned mestiza (Mischling) of the Caribbean,
A child of many diaspora (verstreute Völker), born into this continent at a crossroads.

I am a U.S. Puerto Rican Jew,
5 A product of the ghettos of New York I have never known.
An immigrant and the daughter and granddaughter of immigrants.
I speak English with passion: it’s the tongue of my consciousness,
A flashing knife blade (Klinge) of cristal, my tool, my craft.

I am Caribeña (aus der Karibik), island grown. Spanish is my flesh,
10 Ripples (fließen) from my tongue, lodges (wörtl. logieren, wohnen) in my hips:
The language of garlic (Knoblauch) and mangoes,
The singing of poetry, the flying gestures of my hands.
I am of Latinoamerica, rooted in the history of my continent:
I speak from that body.

15 I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína (Name eines Indianerstammes). Taíno is in me, but there is no way back.
I am not European. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there.

I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish.
I was born at the crossroads
20 And I am whole.

Rodolfo Gonzales “I Am Joaquín”
I am Joaquin,
Lost in a world of confusion,
Caught up in a whirl (Wirbel, Strudel) of a gringo society,
Confused by the rules,
5 Scorned (verachten) by attitudes,
Suppressed by manipulations,
And destroyed by modern society.
My fathers have lost the economic battle
And won the struggle of cultural survival.
10 And now! I must choose between the paradox of
Victory of the spirit, despite physical hunger
Or to exist in the grasp (Umklammerung) of American social neurosis,
Sterilization of the soul, and a full stomach.
Yes. I have come a long way to nowhere,
15 Unwillingly dragged (zerren) by that
Monstrous, technical industrial giant called
Progress and Anglo success.
I look at myself. I watch my brothers.
I shed (vergießen) tears of sorrow.
20 I sow (säen) seeds of hate.
I withdraw (sich zurückziehen) to the safety within the
Circle of life …
MY OWN PEOPLE.
