Answer:

The point of view used in the excerpt is the following one:

First person.

Step-by-step explanation:

All that can be read is done so from the point of view of a single person or character who shares his or her thoughts with the reader. The subject pronoun "I" and the possessive adjective "my" in the excerpt make it clear we are talking first person point of view:

"I am Caribeña, island grown. Spanish is in my flesh, ripples from my tongue, lodges in my hips: the language of garlic and mangoes, the singing in my poetry, the flying gestures of my hands."
