Conquistadora by

Presentation by Alan Valle
12 November 2021

General
Information
•Conquistadora reads like historical
fiction.
•Talks about the Taíno.
•History of Puerto Rico’s
colonization.
•Characters trace their lineages,
there are Jews, Muslims, Spanish,
Taíno, and Africans in Puerto Rico.
•Elite are mostly Spanish
colonizers with slaves and
haciendas.

Research
Question
•In what ways would you argue that in
Conquistadora the concepts and practices
of what family and kinship means
(consanguinity) get transformed in Puerto
Rico because of slavery. Is this true among
the European and African communities in
regard to childrearing?

Consanguinity
in
Conquistadora
•Alludes to the theorized European-
American Christian nuclear family.
•1 man, 1 woman, two children.
•Standard never maintained,
even in white American
households, other people
participate in the raising of
children.
•Patriarchal - male head.
•Because Ramon and Inocente
and Severo impregnate many
enslaved women, that means
that many of their children
are half-brothers, half-sisters,
and ties become even more
complicated.

Ana’s Family
•Ana had ancestors who created plantations in Puerto Rico before, this
means that Puerto Rico’s people became a mixture of Spanish colonizers’
children with enslaved women.
•Ana realizes this and calls them her “gente,”
“‘I soon learned that Flora and Damita and the others could teach
me many things. You’d be surprised how much nuestra gente know.’
Elena raised her eyebrows. Our people?” (222).

Ana’s Family
•In Conquistadora, Ana is the family’s
leader.
•Matrifocal.
•Ana had no brother, so her
father’s property became her
own. Non-nuclear.
•Male character’s lives revolve
around her, “Like his father,
[Miguel] was trapped in her life.”

Ana’s Family
•She married Ramon, who had a twin brother called
Inocente.
•Polyamorous relationship, Ana was the top.
•“As they spent more time with [Ana], the twins
believed that they’d found a kindred spirit. She
wasn’t appalled when Ramon said they’d marry
the same woman. They’d shared everything with
each other; why not share a wife?” (36).
•Ana gets pregnant while they are both having sex
with her, no one knows whether Ramon or Inocente
is the father, which breaks the family and sets off a
chain of events that ends with Ramon and Inocente’s
deaths.

Ana’s Family
•Ana was raised by enslaved people, a “Gypsy,”
some “North African maids,” and others (10-11).
•Flora and Inés nurse Ana when she is suffering,
and when they die, Ana “realized how much it had
meant to have another adult woman as her
companion” (293).
•Enslaved women have children with Ramon,
Inocente, and Severo, Ana becomes responsible for
them as la patrona de la hacienda,
•“The mulatto children she’d always believed to have been
fathered by Severo were possibly—no, probably—Ramon’s
and Inocente’s. . . . Ana still held a grudge against the
twins. At the same time, she’d pretended not to know
about Severo’s infidelities for nearly a decade” (356).
•She also raises Conciencia as her own child, an orphaned
child that belonged to one of the enslaved women.

Elena’s Family
•Ironically, Elena does not consider Puerto Ricans to be her people,
yet her Spanish family are “unsure whether they were related at all”
(19).
•Puerto Ricans are more likely to consider themselves family, but
the Spanish distance themselves.
•She becomes an adoptive daughter to Eugenio, he “planned to find
a husband for Elena. . . . She was like a daughter, he wanted to do
the right thing for her, and he knew that Leonor would want her
nearby” (218).

Elena’s Family
•She was adopted, her family
was not “nuclear.”
•She takes care of Eugenio and
Miguel, as if she was enslaved.
•Elena becomes Simón’s
“muse” (247).
•It is implied she does not love
him back because she loves
Ana.
•She marries him after fifteen
years (376).

Slavery and Family
in Conquistadora
•Enslaved people raise the masters’ children, they are
essential for colonizers families.
•They carry out the chores, they dwell with/around the family.
•“They cared for Tío Rodrigo’s house when he was away,
and when he was there, the wife and daughter cleaned
and cooked” (29).
•Siña Damita delivers Miguel.
•Inés was like Miguel’s mother,
•“The child held on to Inés, who tried to pry him away,
without success” (192).
•“He lowered his head and breathed hard to keep from
crying. He missed Nana Inés, and how she rubbed his
back to help him sleep” (242).
•Miguel probably felt frustrated that people would not
consider Inés his family.
•Ana raises Ramon and Marta’s child as hers. She also raises
Conciencia.
•Story’s message is that people we choose to love and protect
become our family.

Slavery and Family
in Conquistadora
•Enslaved people give the Europeans the opportunity
to act how they really want to act without social
judgments they would face amongst themselves.
•“‘We’re not ‘other people’ to them,’ Jose said.
‘We’re not people at all. If there was other
blancos around, they’d be smiling and
pretending they like each other’” (166).
•Enslaved people did not see their roles through
rose-tinted glasses.
•Their role was enforced through violence.
•Masters forgot this, which was
symbolically manifested through Miguel’s
ironic death at their hands. Even though
Miguel wanted to free them, the slaves
simply saw him as another colonizer and
abuser, so he was killed in their rebellion.

Class and Family
in Conquistadora
•Marriage was seen as a means to an end in
Conquistadora, which was what allowed Ana
to manipulate the twins, and to inherit their
wealth.
•Marriage is tied to kinship, and kinship
is tied to children.
•marriage changes as an institution
when class (slave/poor and master/rich)
gets introduced into the equation.
•Male philandering changes family
structures, and these relationships
create nations when people recognize
that they share ancestry.
•Implied that family conception is tied to
revolution.

Class and
Family in
Conquistadora
•Rich women develop relationships with poorer men.
•Ana marries Severo.
•Elena marries Simón.
•These relationships are more fulfilling, but they are not perfect. Severo states, “Ana. You’ve
never seen me as anything but your mayordomo’” (358). As mentioned earlier, Elena marries
to keep controversy at bay.
•However, genuine love exists in these relationships with Ana commenting “‘This is
happiness” after having experienced sex with Severo (261). Furthermore, while we are
not able to hear more about Elena’s feelings towards her marriage with Simón, we at
least know that Simón genuinely loved her.
•Hence, slavery brought a reevaluation and change to the institution of marriage.
