The official discourse on the inheritance received by the Puerto Rican Taino, Spanish and African founding cultures recognizes the contribution of each of these. The official myth states that Puerto Rican arises from the hybridization of these elements. However, in both cases it is privileged the Hispanic element since it became in the power discourse of the white man and wealthy class. In this way highlights the language, religion and customs of the Spanish heritage. The contribution of indigenous and African is deferred to a comfortable space that I call folk anecdote: rhythms, meals, words. I propose that Ana Lydia Vega in her work problematizes the official discourse and the myth by matching African with the Hispanic in Puerto Rico culture.
