The Great African Slave Revolt of 1825: Cuba and the Fight for Freedom in Matanzas
ISBN: 9780807143322 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In June 1825 the Cuban countryside witnessed a large African-led slave rebellion -- a revolt that began a cycle of slave uprisings lasting until the mid-1840s. The Great African Slave Revolt of 1825 examines this movement and its participants for the first time, highlighting the significance of African warriors in New World plantation society. Unlike previous slave revolts -- led by alliances between free people of color and slaves, blacks and mulattoes, Africans and Creoles, and rural and urban populations -- only African-born men organized the uprising of 1825. From this year onwards,... In June 1825 the Cuban countryside witnessed a large African-led slave rebellion -- a revolt that began a cycle of slave uprisings lasting until th... |

George Gedda, a retired diplomatic correspondent for The Associated Press, has a new book out based largely on his 31 visits to Cuba, all but a few on assignment for AP.

Shade Grown Slavery: The Lives of Slaves on Coffee Plantations in Cuba
ISBN: 9780826519146 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Within the world of Cuban slave-holding plantations, all enslaved people had to negotiate a life defined by forces beyond their control, and indeed beyond the control of their masters. Slaves on coffee farms survived in ways that allowed them to marry, have children, and maintain and redefine cultural practices that they passed on to their children. Slaves were an important factor in creating a nascent Afro-Cuban culture and identity.
In this broad, interdisciplinary study, William Van Norman describes how each type of plantation and the amount of manual labor it required directly...

Through them and other sources, he has assembled this fascinating, entirely authentic story with the intensity of a thriller novel. Any history buff desiring to sift through this shadowy period should have a look this book. Excellent." --Carlos Alberto Montaner,...

A comprehensive history of crime and corruption in Cuba, The Cuban Connection challenges the common view that widespread poverty and geographic proximity to the United States were the prime reasons for soaring rates of drug trafficking, smuggling, gambling, and prostitution in the tumultuous decades preceding the Cuban revolution.

Known for much of the nineteenth century as "the ever-faithful isle," Cuba did not earn its independence from Spain until 1898, long after most American colonies had achieved emancipation from European rule. In this groundbreaking history, David Sartorius explores the relationship between political allegiance and race in nineteenth-century Cuba. Challenging assumptions that loyalty to the Spanish empire was the exclusive province of the white Cuban elite, he examines the free and enslaved people of African descent who actively supported colonialism. By claiming loyalty, many black and mulatto...

Cuba, El Socialismo y Sus Exodos
ISBN: 9781463347987 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. La historia de Cuba se circunscribe erroneamente para muchos al proceso revolucionario que la mantiene secuestrada desde 1959. La construccion del socialismo y el antinorteamericanismo militante han sido las coartadas para justificar dicho secuestro; para consagrar a un individuo carismatico y paranoide como lider de la revolucion mundial, para camuflar "errores" que no lo son y exhibir logros inexistentes. La violencia y la intimidacion han sido los instrumentos para inducir la desesperanza, fomentar el sometimiento, estimular la simulacion como estrategia de supervivencia, y para empujar a...
