Karen Y. Morrison. Cuba’s Racial Crucible: The Sexual Economy of Social Identities, 1750–2000
Karen Y. Morrison’s Cuba’s Racial Crucible: The Sexual Economy of Social Identities, 1750–2000 is a very complex—“complicated” is a better adjective—book that looks at the interrelated phenomena of race, gender, and identity in Cuban history. More than a monograph, it is a collection of seven loosely connected chapters that trace those subjects from the 1600s to the year 2000. Morrison’s book is further complicated by the fact that it uses a wide…

Documented with extracts from the Backhouse's correspondence, diaries and other contemporary papers, Martinez-Fernandez paints a detailed picture of the Cuban slave trade, its role in the sugar industry, and the interrelated contra…

Revolutionary Cuba: A History
Afro-Cuban Theology: Religion, Race, Culture, and Identity
Michelle A. González’s Afro-Cuban Theology: Religion, Race, Culture, and Identity is not a history book; it is, rather, a work of systematic theology, informed by scholarship related to Latin American Liberation Theology and United States Latino and Afro-American theologies. The author discusses in much detail the limitations of each of these particular theologies as tools to comprehend Cuba’s complex religious systems and rituals, both on the is…

Crypto-Protestants and Pseudo-Catholics in the Nineteenth-Century Hispanic Caribbean
This essay, which stems from a broader project on religion in the nineteenth-century Hispanic Caribbean, seeks to recreate the experiences of the thousands of Protestants who struggled tenaciously to retain or hide their faith in colonial Cuba and Puerto Rico before the declaration of religious tolerance in 1869 and before the establishment of the region's first Protestant churches, the Anglican congregation of Ponce, organised in 1869, the Episc…

Una utopía inconclusa: Espaillat y el liberalismo dominicano del siglo XIX
Dominican liberal thinkers of the nineteenth century have received relatively little attention from historians and political scientists, partially because they remained, for the most part, at the margins of political power. Conversely, the nineteenth-century caudillos, mainly Pedro Santana, Buenaventura Báez, and Ulises Heureaux, have been the objects of much greater scholarly attention. After publishing biographical works on Heureaux (1987) and …

The Sword and the Crucifix: Church-State Relations and Nationality in the Nineteenth-Century Dominican Republic
Like the precarious colonial state demeaningly referred to as "España la Boba," the Dominican Catholic Church of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries endured the Caribbean ramifications of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. This onslaught included the cession of Santo Domingo to France in 1795, the protracted and bloody revolution in St. Domingue, disruptions in international trade, and invasions by Haiti in 1801 and 180…

The sweet and the bitter: Cuban and Puerto Rican responses to the mid-nineteenth-century sugar challenge
Comparative study of the mid-19th-c. world market sugar pressures in Cuba and Puerto Rico.

Don't Die Here: ” The Death and Burial of Protestants in the Hispanic Caribbean, 1840-1885
As early as the first decades of the sixteenth century, when English and Dutch corsairs and privateers began to challenge Spain's exclusivist claims to the New World, the struggle for control over the Americas began to be couched in terms of a holy war. The Caribbean, in particular, became the arena in which the commercial, ideological and military forces of Protestant Northern Europe and Catholic Southern Europe clashed. Spanish officials common…
