Trataremos de pensar al amancebamiento como herramienta extendida de reproducción del orden jerárquico social bajo el régimen colonial y cómo posteriormente se mantuvo como sostén de la desigualdad (y profunda inequidad) entre hombres y mujeres, siendo estas últimas, objeto de abuso sistematizado. El abanico de posibilidades de elección que tenían ciertos hombres los colocaba en lugares de completo poder y a las mujeres, en posiciones de debilidad y vulnerabilidad de las que, en principio, les era casi imposible salir. Para dar cuenta de esto se utilizará la novela Cecilia Valdés, escrita por Cirilo Villaverde y publicada en el año 1839: melodrama que trata y desarrolla el vínculo romántico afectivo (clandestino) entre una mulata y un hijo de español.
