Junot Díaz
“They say it came from Africa, carried in the screams of the enslaved; that it was the death bane of the Tainos, uttered just as one world perished and another began; that it was a demon drawn into Creation through the nightmare door that was cracked open in the Antilles. Fukú americanus, or more colloquially, ´Ú³Ü°ìú - generally a curse or doom of some kind; specifically the Curse and the Doom of the New World.

No matter what its name or provenance, it is believed that the arrival of Europeans on Hispaniola unleashed ´Ú³Ü°ìú on the world, and we've all been in the shit ever since.”
Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
