EGUES CRUZ, Arianna y LEON BERMUDEZ, Osneidy. Black woman’s image in the leading character in Daisy Rubiera Castillo’s Reyita, sencillamente. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.3, pp. 319-324. Epub 02-Jun-2020. ISSN 2218-3620.
This research paper was motivated by the shortage of studies related to how the black woman is represented in Daisy Rubiera Castillo’s literary work Reyita, sencillamente. This investigation is aimed at analyzing the image of the black woman in this book’s leading character. Having this in mind, the research follows the qualitative paradigm for the investigation in culture, art and literature, and particularly it holds on the method of content analysis in its intensive strategy, considering two categories: on the one hand, the image of the black woman, as the main variable, and, on the other, the genre of testimony. In order to fulfill this objective a theoretical and methodological framework was designed addressing to conceptualize such categories, as they are set by the literary analysis and theory, and by the studies on this author and this book, as well as by inquiries on other similar pieces from Latin America and the Caribbean. The main result of the present investigation suggests that the image of the black woman played by the character of Reyita is the representation of the Afrocuban woman and the historic, sociological, cultural and religious processes experienced by both the Cuban nation and the black woman.
