Poem by Barbara Kempf

(Latina by heritage, German by birth, and British by choice)

Cabello Rubio Traidor Vol.II

Migration – over Generations

Fleeing Starvation in 1848

Guilty of Subjugation of indígenos

Fluctuation between the old continent and the new

Repatriation, Nazification, loss and Re-orientation

Calcification of traditions when things moved in the old country.

Surprise Revelation on returning to the ‘motherland’

In the third Generation

Carbon Copy Culture after Relocation

In the fourth Generation

How to accomplish Integration

Without Disintegration of identity

Navigation of multiple identities

Justification, constant justification…

“Yes, I am blond, but my dad is Bolivian…”

But is it cultural Appropriation?

A heritage not mine but Colonisation?

I am Latina, I am German, I am British

I am me.
