\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eleven years before Uncle Tom’s Cabin<\/a><\/em> fanned the fires of abolition<\/a> in North America, an aristocratic Cuban woman told an impassioned story of the fatal love of a mulatto<\/a> slave for his white owner’s daughter. So controversial was Sab’s<\/em> theme of miscegenation<\/a> and its parallel between the powerlessness and enslavement of blacks and the economic and matrimonial subservience of women that the book was not published in Cuba until 1914, seventy-three years after its original 1841 publication in Spain.<\/p>\n

Also included in the volume is Avellaneda’s Autobiography<\/em> (1839), whose portrait of an intelligent, flamboyant woman struggling against the restrictions of her era amplifies the novel’s exploration of the patriarchal oppression of minorities and women.<\/p>\n
