| description | This paper aims its attention at the book Reyita, sencillamente. Testimonio de una negra cubana nonagenaria, written by Cuban author Daisy Rubiera Castillo, a literary testimony that takes the Afrodescendant woman as a downtrodden social subject. Owing to the acceptance the text received from the critique and for highlighting its worth from the academic and intellectual standpoint, this approach advances an analysis of the questions the book deals with, which make it a sample of the Afrofeminine literature in Cuba, such as history, culture, memory and roots, discrimination and identity. To do so, the theoretical and methodological tools of the literary gender and race studies are used along with the criteria of specialists formerly interested in this piece. Besides that, this study also approaches the book’s aesthetic side, namely its genre classification as a literary testimony. |
