Dr. Omaris Zamora will discuss her fabulated story of La Cigüapa, a Dominican folktale figure similar to Mexico's La Llorona, as an exercise for thinking about her character and the historical context in which she is initially imagined. She offer a transnational examination of this figure against the backdrop of colonialism, mining, and neoliberal capitalism from Hispaniola to Washington Heights.
