The logical-historical method, as well as induction and deduction, documentary analysis and critical review together with the transdisciplinary perspective allowed the approach of the problemraised in its internal and external connections. This poetry is under stood as a testimony of a reality marked by imperialist exploitation, racial discrimination and social exclusion, as well as the resolution to transform it in favor of the oppressed, which accounts for the cultural resistance-anti-imperialism dialectic.
