II. THE WHITE SLAVE TRADE IN LATIN AMERICAN FICTION:15 At the same time as Yiddish theater flourishes in Argentina, the dramatic genre that best reflects the immigrant’s trauma is the sainete, a one-act comic sketch. By the 1920s, the number of short farces that deal with the immigrant’s conflict in confrontation with the Creole in a vast and hostile metropolis, reaches the thousands. One of the sainetes of Alberto Novión deals with the white slave trade. Many of the sainetes were used to introduce a rich variety of songs, of tangos in particular.
Clara is torn between the contrast of what she is—a sensitive poet—and what she does for a living. Both “Vida” (Life), and “Amorío ciudadano” (Urban love) deal with mutual deceit. ” Deeply moved by the qualities of sincerity, piety and humility that characterize Clara Béter’s verses, Elías Castelnuovo wrote in the introduction to “her” work: Clara Béter is the voice of anguish that comes from the brothel. 25 In spite of his illusionist rhetoric, César Tiempo is not a romantic author. He aspires to transform society with his protest: the narrator, as a prostitute, identifies with the miserable fate of the unknown worker; piously, she comforts him: “You who suffer so, deserve the ephemeral feast that my body is willing to offer you” (p 29).
