This article discusses post-racial Cuba and how racial differences were supposedly no longer important, this is very problematic because it overlooks the real experiences of Afro-Cubans, especially those with darker skin. The romanticized images of the “mulatta” is depicted in films today and affects the representation of darker people. The film “De Cierto Manera” shows how the image of the “mulatta” is often pushed to the front seeming as if their struggles are more valid than for example the pro boxer Guillermo lost his whole career as a boxer after facing racial injustice, was only touched upon briefly. I enjoyed Marios development throughout the film he allowed Yolanda to be herself even if it bothered his machismo side.
