Este libro presenta un análisis detallado de la Pentagonía de Reinaldo Arenas, que incluye las novelas Celestino antes del alba, El palacio de los blanquísimas mofetas, Otra vez el mar, El color del verano, y El asalto. A través del uso de la ficción, Arenas ofrece un testimonio de la opresión que sufrió en Cuba como escritor homosexual durante los años sesenta y los setenta. Este libro pone de relieve el hecho de que, aunque su trabajo no cumpla con las pautas de la novela testimonial cubana, le da una voz a aquellos que fueron silenciados por el gobierno revolucionario. Los dos primeros capítulos ofrecen una visión general de los géneros literarios relevantes para este estudio, como la autobiografía, la novela autobiográfica y la novela testimonial, así como del contexto socio-histórico de la Pentagonía. Posteriormente, este estudio analiza en detalle cada novela por separado, y ofrece una visión de la Pentagonía en su conjunto.

This book presents an in-depth analysis of Reinaldo Arenas's Pentagony, which includes the novels Singingfrom the Well, The Palace of the White Skunks, Farewell to the Sea, The Color of Summer, and The Assault. Through the use of fiction, Arenas offers a testimony of theoppression he suffered in Cuba during the sixties and the seventies as a homosexual writer. This book highlights the fact that although his work does not comply with the guidelines of the Cuban documentary novel, it does give a strong voice to those who were silenced by the Revolutionary government. The first two chapters provide an overview of literary genres relevant to this study, such as the autobiography, autobiographical novel and documentary novel, as well as the socio-historical context of the novels. Subsequently, this study looks in detail at each novel separately, offering a comprehensive overview of the Pentagony as a whole.

An eyewitness account of idealism, self-discovery, and loss under one of the twentieth-century's most repressive political regimes Set against a backdrop of world-changing events during the headiest years of the Cuban Revolution, Goodbye, My Havana follows young Connie Veltfort as her once relatively privileged life among a community of anti-imperialist expatriates turns to progressive disillusionment and heartbreak. The consolidation of Castro's position brings violence, cruelty, and betrayal to Connie's doorstep. And the crackdown that ultimately forces her family and others to flee for their lives includes homosexuals among its targets—Connie's coming-of-age story is one also about the dangers of coming out. Looking back with a mixture of hardheaded clarity and tenderness at her alter ego and a forgotten era, with this gripping graphic memoir Anna Veltfort takes leave of the past even as she brings neglected moments of the Cold War into the present.

Music and Revolution provides a dynamic introduction to the most prominent artists and musical styles that have emerged in Cuba since 1959 and to the policies that have shaped artistic life. Robin D. Moore gives readers a chronological overview of the first decades after the Cuban Revolution, documenting the many ways performance has changed and emphasizing the close links between political and cultural activity. Offering a wealth of fascinating details about music and the milieu that engendered it, the author traces the development of dance styles, nueva trova, folkloric drumming, religious traditions, and other forms. He describes how the fall of the Soviet Union has affected Cuba in material, ideological, and musical terms and considers the effect of tense international relations on culture. Most importantly, Music and Revolution chronicles how the arts have become a point of negotiation between individuals, with their unique backgrounds and interests, and official organizations. It uses music to explore how Cubans have responded to the priorities of the revolution and have created spaces for their individual concerns. Copub: Center for Black Music Research

El libro analiza la relación entre vanguardia y humorismo gráfico en dos periodos históricos críticos: la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939) y los primeros años de la Revolución Cubana (1959-1961). Secentra en los periódicos y la llamada prensa de trincheras en España orientada a un público adulto, tanto en el bando republicano (No Veas, Trincheras, L'Esquella de la Torratxa, entre otras) como enel nacional (Vértice y La Ametralladora). En la parte dedicada a Cuba, el análisis se centra en el diario Revolución y en la revista de humor vanguardista El Pitirre, que discurrió paralela al suplemento cultural Lunes de Revolución y corrió similar suerte cuando tanto Lunes como El Pitirre fueron clausurados en 1961. El enfoque del libro traza la trayectoria de la vanguardia en el humorismo gráfico en ambos periodos, cuando el compromiso político y la militancia desplazaron paulatinamente el desarrollo de la vanguardia estética. La especial coyuntura socio-política planteó retos a los artistas gráficos de índole ideológico y estético-conceptual, estableciendo áreas de contacto e influencia entre España y Cuba. The book studies the relation between the avant-garde and graphic humour in two critical historical periods: the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the early years of the Cuban Revolution (1959-1961). It focuses on the so-called war magazines in Spain on the Republican side (No Veas, Trincheras, and L'Esquella de la Torratxa, among others) and the Francoist side (Vértice and La Ametralladora). In the part devoted to Cuba, the analysis covers the newspaper Revolución and the avant-garde humour magazine El Pitirre, which ran simultaneously to the cultural supplement Lunes de Revolución and shared the same fate when Lunes and El Pitirre were closed down in 1961. The book unveils the trajectory of the avant-garde graphic humour in both periods, when the political commitment progressively overshadowed the development of the aesthetic avant-garde. The special socio-political conjuncture posed ideological and aesthetic-conceptual challenges to graphic artists, establishing contact areas and influences between Spain and Cuba. Jorge L.

From South Africa in the nineteenth century to Hong Kong today, nations around the world, including the United States, have turned to guestworker programs to manage migration. These temporary labor recruitment systems represented a state-brokered compromise between employers who wanted foreign workers and those who feared rising numbers of immigrants. Unlike immigrants, guestworkers couldn't settle, bring their families, or become citizens, and they had few rights. Indeed, instead of creating a manageable form of migration, guestworker programs created an especially vulnerable class of labor. Based on a vast array of sources from U.S., Jamaican, and English archives, as well as interviews, No Man's Land tells the history of the American "H2" program, the world's second oldest guestworker program. Since World War II, the H2 program has brought hundreds of thousands of mostly Jamaican men to the United States to do some of the nation's dirtiest and most dangerous farmwork for some of its biggest and most powerful agricultural corporations, companies that had the power to import and deport workers from abroad. Jamaican guestworkers occupied a no man's land between nations, protected neither by their home government nor by the United States. The workers complained, went on strike, and sued their employers in class action lawsuits, but their protests had little impact because they could be repatriated and replaced in a matter of hours. No Man's Land puts Jamaican guestworkers' experiences in the context of the global history of this fast-growing and perilous form of labor migration.
