El limbo étnico en el cuento “Esa horrible manera de separarme de ti”, de Vicenta Siosi

Abstract

The loss of the values of her community of origin, the Wayuu, and the rejection she suffers in the alijuna world of Riohacha to which she aspires to integrate, plunges the protagonist of the story into a confusion of feelings that turns her into a being without a center, and situates her in a kind of ethnic limbo that takes the form of a confession in the story, of the irruption of an oral, questioning and creative discourse, which reveals the risks that children and young people run when they venture into the white, western world. and discriminating, prone to take the other as inferior.
