Abstract
Abstract: This reflective essay reveals the parallel experiences in the selected literary works of imposed colonial history and ancestral wounds borne over generations. Along with this is the sense of injustice committed by whites and the impact that injustice dictated as permitted in the name of the "God's chosen" settlers. Thus, the connections between the ancestors of African people in the Caribbean and Native Americans are intriguing and should be explored. Puerto Rican author Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa's work in Daughters of the Stone ties in harmoniously with Elizabeth Cook-Lynn's From the River's Edge and the struggles and the war that the characters go through against the ridicule and cruelty of the white colonizers or masters. This is done through a respectful journey of self-discovery and healing from the past.
