La Visión de Malintzin / Malintzins Vision

"They say History is written by those who are victorious, but it isn't always so. In truth, History is shaped by several voices, registered from different points of view. The victorious render their version of things as if it were the one and only truth, while those defeated keep engraving their story wherever they can: on the earth, in the air, on the vegetation under a trail of blood, in their broken souls, in a muffled scream. They preserve History in many ways, in faded memories, in looms, in fired clay. But likewise, they store it inside their wombs, in familiar molecules, under fingernails."--
