Cuenta la historia oficial que Vasco Núñez de Balboa fue el primer hombre que vio, desde una cumbre de Panamá, los dos océanos. Los que allí vivían, ¿eran ciegos?

¿Quiénes pusieron sus primeros nombres al maíz y a la papa y al tomate y al chocolate y a las montañas y a los ríos de América? ¿Hernán Cortés, Francisco Pizarro? Los que allí vivían, ¿eran mudos?

Lo escucharon los peregrinos del Mayflower: Dios decía que América era la Tierra Prometida. Los que allí vivían, ¿eran sordos?

Después, los nietos de aquellos peregrinos del norte se apoderaron del nombre y de todo lo demás. Ahora, americanos son ellos. Los que vivimos en las otras Américas, ¿qué somos?

Eduardo Galeano, Espejos: una historia casi universal.

“The official history tells that Vasco Núñez de Balboa was the first man who saw, from a peak in Panama, the two oceans. Those who already lived there, where they blind?

Who were the first to give names to corn and potatoes and tomatoes and chocolate and the mountains and rivers of America? Hernan Cortés, Francisco Pizarro? Those who already lived there, were they mute?

The pilgrims of the Mayflower heard God tell them that America was the Promised Land. Those who already lived there, where they deaf?

Then, the grandchildren of those pilgrims of the north took possession of the name and of everything else. Now, they are the Americans. Those who live in the other Americas, who are we?”
