- Summary:
- Es una región montañosa del noroeste de la isla de la Palma, en el archipielago canario. Una tierra que en los años 40 y 50 del siglo XX experimentó un importante éxodo migratorio a Venezuela. Se trató de una época convulsa, con dos relatos complementarios: el de quienes se fueron y el de quienes se quedaron.Por un lado, el del tortuoso periplo de hombres que buscaron, no siempre con éxito, prosperidad y oportunidades para ellos y para sus familias. Por otro, el de las mujeres que se quedaron a cargo de la supervivencia cotidiana, del campo y la crianza, bajo la sombra de un régimen fascista y en una tierra económica y socialmente devastada.Reconstruyendo el relato colectivo de la memoria familiar, Elías Taño presenta en estas páginas retazos de la vida de Inocencio y Gloria, sus abuelos. Uno migrado a Caracas, trabajando en condiciones penosas pero construyendo resortes de solidaridad y resistencia obrera. La otra cargando el peso de las ausencias pero contribuyendo a sostener, con todas las dificultades, una comunidad de mujeres que labraba pacientemente el futuro." Contraportade.
- It is a mountainous region in the northwest of the island of La Palma, in the Canary archipelago. A land that in the 40s and 50s of the 20th century experienced an important migratory exodus to Venezuela. It was a convulsive time, with two complementary stories: that of those who left and that of those who stayed. On the one hand, that of the tortuous journey of men who searched, not always with success, for prosperity and opportunities for themselves and their families. families. On the other, that of the women who were left in charge of daily survival, farming and raising children, under the shadow of a fascist regime and in an economically and socially devastated land. Reconstructing the collective narrative of family memory, Elías Taño presents in these pages pieces of the life of Inocencio and Gloria, his grandparents. One migrated to Caracas, working in harsh conditions but building springs of solidarity and worker resistance. The other carrying the weight of the absences but contributing to sustain, with all the difficulties, a community of women who patiently built the future.
