TextPublisher: Duke University Press, Description: 1 online resource (371 p.)ISBN: 9780822376842Subject(s): History / Caribbean & West Indies / Cuba | HistoryGenre/Form: Electronic books.Online resources: View this content on Open Research Library. Summary: Cuba's first republican era (1902-1959) is principally understood in terms of its failures and discontinuities, its first three decades and the overthrow of Machado seen at best as a prologue to the "real" revolution of 1959. This book brings together scholars from North America, Cuba, and Spain to challenge this narrative, presenting republican Cuba instead as a time of meaningful engagement- socially, politically, and symbolically. Addressing a wide range of topics- civic clubs and folkloric societies, science, public health and agrarian policies, popular culture, national memory, and the intersection of race and labor- the contributors explore how a broad spectrum of Cubans embraced a political and civic culture of national self-realization. These essays recast the first republic as a time of deep continuity in processes of liberal state- and nation-building that were periodically disrupted- but also reinvigorated- by foreign intervention and profound uncertainty.
