/Reyita-Black-Cuban-Twentieth-Century/dp/0822325934)Date accessedI accessed this book on 14th April 14, 2020SubjectsReyita is a testimonial novel whose themes are centered around race, gender, poverty, and politics during the colonial period in Cuba.Abstract The book Reyita: The Life of a Black Cuban Woman in the Twentieth Century narrates a story of Maria de Reyes Castillo Bueno (1902-1997), who is a black, poor Afro-Cuban woman, also called Reyita. She recounts the story of her life to her daughter from a broad perspective, where she talks about different subjects, including around race, gender, poverty, and politics. Author bioMarнa de Los Reyes Castillo Bueno (1902–1997) is the author of Reyita. Reyes is a Black Cuban-born woman who lives during the colonial period in Cuba. She presents herself as a poor, black, uneducated woman who experienced all sorts of discrimination based on her gender, color, and social status. In the entire story, Reyes using different tonal variations ranging from dignified, to intelligent, principled, poetic, reliable, and challenging to recount her life experience. The story begins, as recorded and told by her daughter, in Africa, when slave-traders abducted Reyes' grandmother. She writes that "I didn't want a black husband, not out of contempt for my race, but because black men had almost no possibilities of getting ahead and the certainty of facing lots of discrimination" (p. 166).Historical Note
The story was literarily targeted at her daughter. The story takes shape when she recounts the Tatica story, her grandmother, and the attempt to abduct her from her native African continent. She was then brought to Cuba, where she was sold into slavery (Castillo Bueno & Rubiera Castillo, 2000). The story of Tatica establishes a precedent which is upheld by subsequent generations of her family for the struggle for equality and survival, racial discrimination, and political activism. Scope and ContentBeing a black, needy, and a woman was the perfect recipe that prepared Reyes for discrimination, including from her mother. However, unlike other forms of testimonials, this portrays a whole lot of themes from the eyes of a single character. The purpose of the author was to strengthen her daughter and other readers to be courageous and stand up for what they believe in to overcome discrimination.Analytical interpretation
This novel tells us that black women were mainly the most vulnerable targets for racial-based discrimination. It also teaches us that it did not ease for some victims to overcome that vice because some had to deal with it from within (Castillo Bueno & Rubiera Castillo, 2000). For example, Reyes had undergone various struggles to overcome racial discrimination from her mother. Moreover, the book tells us that black women were mainly the most vulnerable targets for racial-based discrimination. It also teaches us that it was not easy for some victims to overcome that vice because some had to deal with it from within.Visuals
