Cecilia Valdes, one of the jewels of nineteenth-century Latin
American fiction, displays a thematic complexity that is unique
among the novels of its time. Cecilia, the alluring mulata, has
come to represent the survival strategies of women of color in a
racist society. The novel occupies a prominent place in
post-colonial studies about social stratification according to skin
color in plantation societies. Villaverde's novel shows the process
of modernization that resulted from the boom in the sugar industry,
and the transformation of Havana and its social dynamics. The
spaces through which the narrator leads us are the same spaces
where the story of Cecilia and the history of Havana unfold in
parallel lines. A close reading of the novel corroborates the often
reiterated perception that Cecilia -alluring, hybrid, complex and
tempestuous- is Havana, and is Cuba.
