It was during our endless conversations that she told me these things she had never confided to anyone before.\" Likewise, anyone who reads Tituba will hear her speak of the invisible, destabilizing crystallized structures, mediating new conceptions of identities and cultures, and protecting insurgents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Here, this fascinating character is brought out of the silence historiography has consigned her to. The daughter of an enslaved Black woman, she experienced the terror of seeing her mother murdered for defending herself from the rape of a white man and of learning that her father killed himself because of the same white man. She grew up under the care of a woman who possessed the power of healing and who initiated her into the mysteries. As an adult, she fell in love with John Indien and gave up her freedom for him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOne of the first women tried for witchcraft in the Salem courts in 1692, \u003cstrong\u003eTituba\u003c\/strong\u003e had been enslaved and taken to New England by Pastor Samuel Parris, who denounced her. Even protected by spirits, she could not escape the lies and accusations of the Puritan hysteria of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Tituba's story is the story of women of the diaspora and of Black people. It is also the story of all those who follow their own truth, rather than professing the colonizer's faith. It is the story of dissidents and free souls. That is why it is a beautiful and complex story, whose ending, despite misfortunes, is always benevolent, for it is the story of those who resist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \"To learn about \u003cstrong\u003eTituba\u003c\/strong\u003e , the Black Witch of Salem, you need to follow someone who knows how to handle the alchemy of words.
