Channeling Knowledges by Rebeca L. Hey-ón PDF Summary

Book Description: "Hey-Colón considers the central role of water within the writings and imaginations of Latinx and Caribbean women writers and artists. Water is seen as a political border with the United States, but also symbolically as a carrier of knowledge, place of transmutation, and an embodiment of the Afro-diasporic religious figure of Yemayá, the orisha who is most directly tied to water. Oceans, seas, and rivers are the crux of narrative applications by writers such as Gloria Anzaldúa in her seminal work Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza, which likens the Rio Grande to an open wound "where the Third World grates against the First and bleeds," and thus the locus of trauma, but also of processing trauma. Likewise, Hey-Colón argues that the physical and the sacred are intimately tied together in Afro-diasporic beliefs--the body is literally the repository of the sacred within spirit possession and so these bodies, when they were captured and subjected to the traumas of slavery, were experienced at the same time over their travels across the Atlantic by the spirits they brought with them from the Old World to the New. In doing so they became a sort of living archive and invocation that is continually passed down through successive generations to their descendants. Water and spirituality are a place of trauma and of healing"--
