“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.

Many had been massacred during the punitive expedition of P谩nfilo, but many simply withdrew their labour and disappeared into the hills.”
