Abstract

Following critics of Gomez de Avellaneda, who have recognized her contribution to national discourses of the nineteenth century, this article calls for a new look at her novel Sab. Through an analysis of the spatial, narrative, and discursive representations of civilization and barbarism in the novel, this study shows the author proposing a modernizing project that transcends Cuba. Avellaneda's project is significant for understanding her transatlantic influence and reflects the complexities of her position as woman writer and colonial Other.
