In this paper we examine the novel Herencia (1885) by Clorinda Matto. We focus especially on the book’s Afro-Peruvian character, Espiritu Cadenas, and how he is configured as an object of fear. Based on thetheory of gender and emotions, we study how Espiritu, as a subordinate character, has no possibility of occupying a place in the post-war nation imagined by Matto, as opposed to the mestizo character Margarita, for example. In this sense, through the analysis of the naturalistic aesthetic used by the Peruvian author, we realize that, from her perspective, there are subaltern subjects that can be saved and incorporated into the republican nation. The conclusions to which we arrive show that the novel, under the influence of naturalism and its determination over inheritance, represents the Afro-Peruvian character as an object that causes fear and that, therefore, cannot be saved, because stereotypes that link the Afro-Peruvian with the erotic, the sexual and the contaminated continue to be fed in the 19th century.
