| Resumo: | We analyze the ethnocultural view present in Yolanda Oreamuno’s narrative and essayistic work, and focus on the perception, assessment and representation of Oreamuno concerning indigenous and afro-descendant peoples. This thorough review of her work makes is possible to conclude that her vision is biased, and akin to the predominant point of view in writers of her same generation, all of whom influenced by a racist ideological matrix. The feminism of which Oreamuno is considered a flag bearer is not upheld regarding indigenous or black women, where it becomes not only classist and racist, but also sexist. |
