The Cuban Revolution and the New Left
The Subject of Revolution
Re-reading the Infanticide Narrative
In 1837, a 30-year-old enslaved African woman known as Teresa Lucumí faced charges of criminal infanticide following the gruesome death of her son. Local authorities in her small western Cuban town received news of the crime from Teresa’s enslaver, who recounted a harrowing story of an enslaved mother turned violent murderer. Extracting a confession, authorities took Teresa into custody. Subsequent court records suggest that this confession was l…

Religious paternalism and racial prejudice in obstetric surgery in Mexico
Radical Prescription
Radical Prescription examines the nexus of grassroots activism and state power in twentieth-century Cuba through the lens of tuberculosis. Amid the revolutionary fervor of the 1920s and 1930s, ordinary citizens demanded greater state responsibility over the treatment and eradication of tuberculosis. Building on early republican medical nationalism, these grassroots health activists forged an activist political subculture around the disease. They …
Race and Reproduction in Cuba
Tiffany A. Sippial. Celia Sánchez Manduley
In a sea of biographies mythologizing Cuba’s male guerrilla fighters, Tiffany Sippial offers the first book-length account of Celia Sánchez Manduley, one of Cuba’s most important woman revolutionaries. Touted as the first woman to fire a weapon in the Cuban Revolution, Sánchez not only served in key leadership roles throughout the guerilla war; she also emerged as Cuba’s highest-ranking female political figure after the triumph of the revolution …
Interpreting the Remnants of Women's Reproductive Crises
In the mid-nineteenth century, Cuban authorities produced an unprecedented volume of documentation concerning the conspicuous appearance of fetal remains, infant cadavers, and abandoned infants in public places across the island. Although the physical presence of these bodies and tissue was not new to the mid-nineteenth century, the evolution of the law and a rapidly shifting urban landscape made the material evidence of women’s responses to unwa…
Oye Loca
Given the heightened public visibility of the gay movement in Cuba over the last several years and the recent series of setbacks in LGBTQ civil rights in the United States, iOye Loca! is exactly th...
Race to Revolution
Horne, Gerald (2014) Race to Revolution: The US and Cuba during Slavery and Jim Crow, Monthly Review Press (New York, NY), + 429 pp. £58.06 hbk, £20.00 pbk. Race to Revolution is an original and compelling account of the history of US-Cuban relations from the perspective of North Americans of African descent, in a period defined by racism. Gerald Horne claims to show that the imposition of Jim Crow style ‘race relations’ by the United States in C…
Civilization before citizenship
The wars of independence in Cuba (1868–1898) catalyzed social change, as women, people of African descent and workers challenged existing social hierarchies. With the inauguration of American military rule (1899–1902), however, Cuban political elites had to preserve order in order to demonstrate their fitness for self-government by performing an elusive and changing notion of civilization. Military authorities and local elites promoted diverging …
Afro-Cuban Religious Arts
Kristine Juncker contributes a nuanced account of women's creative engagement with Afro-Caribbean religiosity in the twentieth century. By examining the religious arts practices of four female religious leaders with some connection to Cuba between 1899 and 1969, she argues that Espiritismo, La Regla de Ocha, and other Afro-Caribbean religions cannot be understood in isolation from one another; rather, religious leaders often participated in, repr…
Racial Geographies, Imperial Transitions
This article explores race relations in the provincial city of Cienfuegos, Cuba, during a time of immense political change from 1894 to 1899. In those five years, Cuba was transformed from a Spanish colony struggling for independence to an occupied territory of the United States. This political transformation brought into direct confrontation two models of race relations: one Spanish, characterized by racial integration, and the other American, r…
