This paper presents an analysis of «Betsabelina Ananse Docordó», by Amalia Lucía Posso Figueroa, that appears on Mido mi cuarta y me paro en ella. In this work, the ancestral figure of Ananse is analyzed as a connection with women, by giving continuity to the africanía (African presence) in terms of ideas, spirit, beliefs, birth, and knowledge. It is also seen as one way to perpetuate the resistance and the contributions of the African people to the world.
