Eleven years before Uncle Tom's Cabin fanned the fires of
abolition in North America, an aristocratic Cuban woman told an
impassioned story of the fatal love of a mulatto slave for his
white owner's daughter. So controversial was Sab's theme of
miscegenation 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.
Also included in the volume is Avellaneda's Autobiography
(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.
