La poesía afroantillana por Carmen Lydia Pérez

La poesía afroantillana, de Luis Palés Matos, destaca los rasgos culturales ancestrales de la raza africana: su carácter, su temperamento, su constitución física, sus ritmos y sus bailes. Por otra parte, algunos de sus poemas resaltan la constitución mestiza del puertorriqueño, en particular, y del antillano, en general. Por eso, el propio Palés, en un artículo periodístico nos dice: "Yo no he hablado de una poesía negra ni blanca ni mulata; yo solo he hablado de una poesía antillana que expresa nuestra realidad de pueblo en el sentido cultural de este vocablo".

The purpose of the text is ________.

to clarify the author’s intention
to describe different ethnicities
to defend the people’s rights
to encourage visiting a continent

Answer 1

The purpose of the text is: To clarify the author´s intention, since at the very las part of the paragraph It´s quoted what the author said in regards to his intention when it comes to this paragraph.

It says "I haven´t spoken of black, white or mulatto poetry; I´ve only spoken about antillano which expresses our town´s reality and culture".

So he´s no really describing ethnicities, defending people´s rights nor encouraging to visit a continent, he´s just explaining his intention
