Corregidora provides a trenchant and often controversial look into the genealogy of cruelties committed by “phallocentric” patriarchies on black women in the Americas. But critics have focused chiefly on trauma and resistance on the part of black women, leaving oppressive apparatuses of patriarchy largely underexamined. In order to redress such lack of critical concerns, this essay examines the patriarchal institutions of power which transcend both history and racial bipolarity to abuse female subjects. I first investigate machismo and marianismo, the ideological apparatuses of sovereign patriarchal power that characterized the Brazilian plantation system. I claim that these patriarchal apparatuses of power overshadow the ways African American males express their desire and frustration with regard to Ursa and other black women.
Abstract
Corregidora provides a trenchant and often controversial look into the genealogy of cruelties committed by “phallocentric” patriarchies on black women in the Americas. But critics have focused chiefly on trauma and resistance on the part of black women, leaving oppressive apparatuses of patriarchy largely underexamined. In order to redress such lack of critical concerns, this essay examines the patriarchal institutions of power which transcend both history and racial bipolarity to abuse female subjects. I first investigate machismo and marianismo, the ideological apparatuses of sovereign patriarchal power that characterized the Brazilian plantation system. I claim that these patriarchal apparatuses of power overshadow the ways African American males express their desire and frustration with regard to Ursa and other black women.
