Prisión Verde (1950) de Ramón Amaya Amador y Viento Fuerte (1950) de Miguel Ángel Asturias: un estudio de género

Abstract

In this article review the novels Prision verde of Ramon Amaya Amador and Viento fuerte of Miguel Angel Asturias from a gender perspective. The aim of the study is to determine the roles that women and men play in the worlds narrated by the banana novels in which the power of the enclave subdues both men and women to its caprice. The review presents as result a defined hierarchy of ethnicity and gender and incidentally, shows that men are not exempt from white, foreign and capitalist patriarchal domination that subsumes the workforce of exploitation of man by man
