| Sumario: | We will try to think the “amancebamiento” (fact union) as an extended tool for the reproduction of the social hierarchical order under the colonial regime, and how it remained as a support of inequality (and deep injustice) between men and women, being this last ones object of systematic abuse. The range of choices that certain men had, sited them in places of absolute power and submitted women, in positions of weakness and vulnerability from which, in principle, it was almost impossible to leave. To account for this, the novel Cecilia Valdés will be used; it was written by Cirilo Villaverde and published in 1839. It is a melodrama that treats and develops the romance (clandestine) bond between a (woman) mulatto and a son of Spanish. |
