El ensayo El choteo de Fernando Ortiz se erige como una obra clave para comprender la complejidad del fenómeno cultural cubano conocido como "choteo". Sin embargo, sería incompleto hablar de esta obra sin mencionar Indagación del Choteo de Jorge Mañach, otro texto seminal que aborda este tema desde una perspectiva ligeramente diferente. Ambos autores reconocen la importancia del choteo en la cultura cubana, pero su enfoque para analizar este fenómeno varía. Mañach lo considera "una forma de relación típicamente cubana", enfocándose en su particularidad y unicidad dentro del contexto cubano. Por otro lado, Ortiz amplía el espectro de su análisis para incluir influencias de la cultura africana y española y su universalidad en la experiencia humana. Ortiz presenta un enfoque sistémico que trasciende las fronteras cubanas, extendiendo el tema a una dimensión más global o "universal del hombre". Su análisis, nutrido por una extensa y profunda investigación, examina las raíces culturales y sociales del choteo, incluso sus implicaciones éticas y revolucionarias. Mañach, aunque también exhaustivo en su estudio, se mantiene más enfocado en la idiosincrasia cubana. Uno de los puntos de divergencia más interesantes entre las dos obras es cómo ven la función social del choteo. Mientras Ortiz lo ve como un "corrector de vicios y estimulador de virtudes", Mañach lo observa más como un espejo de la sociedad cubana, reflejando sus peculiaridades, vicios y virtudes. En lo que respecta al estilo, el texto Ortiz quedó como un proyecto pendiente de desarrollo, lo que aporta un elemento de autenticidad y profundidad a su trabajo. En cambio, el enfoque de Mañach es más académico y estructurado. Ambos ensayos contribuyen de forma única al entendimiento del choteo, pero desde ángulos complementarios. El choteo de Ortiz, con su profunda introspección y su enfoque multicultural y sistémico, es esencial para cualquier investigador o lector interesado en una comprensión global del fenómeno. Indagación del Choteo de Mañach, por otro lado, ofrece una vista más cercana y personalizada del choteo como un fenómeno intrínsecamente ligado a la cultura cubana.

In the 1920s, many of Cuba's intellectuals, like Jorge Mañach, were confronted with how to deal with a new postcolonial universe whose neocolonial leanings were undeniable. A palpable unease runs throughout An Inquiry into Choteo (first delivered as a lecture in 1928), as Mañach anxiously attempts to explain this idiosyncratic Cuban attitude or humor that he deems prevalent in the first few turbulent decades of the 20th century. Esteemed in the Spanish-speaking world, only two of Mañach's writings, Martí: Apostle of Freedom, 1950 and Frontiers in the Americas: A Global Perspective (1970), have been published in English—a language which, as an adolescent in Massachusetts, Mañach inhabited, and from which he translated throughout his life. The fact that Mañach is a difficult figure to pin down, textually and ideologically across his life, is part of Jacqueline Loss's motivation to carry out this translation of An Inquiry into Choteo, one of the most authoritative essays in Spanish, comparable to other classic meditations on Latin American and national identity such as José Enrique Rodó's Ariel (1900, English 1988), Antonio S. Pedreira's Insularismo: An Insight into the Puerto Rican Character (1934, English 2007), and Octavio Paz's The Labyrinth of Solitude (1950, English 1962). While Mañach suggested that the pervasiveness of choteo, with its positive and pernicious dimensions, waned by the time of his revision in 1955, An Inquiry into Choteo is all the more relevant in the 21st century, especially within a comparative context, wherein banners of ideology and egalitarianism sometimes obscure the racial and class tensions that reside right below the surface. Analysis of geopolitical maneuverings alone are insufficient to elucidate the intricacies of relationships that emerge, in such texts as Mañach's An Inquiry into Choteo.

In an era of warming relations between the US and Cuba, this book updates the conversation about Cuban America by revealing how this community has changed over the past 25 years. Albert Sergio Laguna investigates the generational shifts and tensions in a Cuban America where the majority is now made up of those who have arrived since the 1990s and those born in the US. To probe these changes, Laguna examines the aesthetic and social logics of a wide range of popular culture forms originating in Miami and Cuba from the 1970s through the 2010s. They include the stand-up comedy of performers like Alvarez Guedes, festivals, a media distribution network in Cuba called el paquete, morning radio shows, and the viral content of Los Pichy Boys, among others. This study illustrates the centrality of play in a community that has been described historically as angry and melancholic. Diversión contends that our understanding of the Cuban diaspora is lacking not in seriousness, but in play. By unpacking this archive, Laguna explores our complex, often-fraught attachments to popular culture and the way it can challenge and reproduce normative cultural ideologies-especially in relation to politics and race. In the wake of the largest Cuban migration wave to the US in history, Diversión is crucial reading for those who seek to understand not only the Cuban. American diaspora, but cultural and economic life on the island. Book jacket.

This history for the first time charts the literature of the entire Caribbean, the islands as well as continental littoral, as one cultural region. It breaks new ground in establishing a common grid for reading literatures that have been kept separate by their linguistic frontiers. Readers will have access to the best current scholarship on the evolution of popular and literate cultures in the various regions since their earliest emergence."The History of Literature in the Caribbean" brings together the most distinguished team of literary Caribbeanists ever assembled, cutting across ideological commitments and critical methods. Differences in point of view between individual contributors are left intact here as the sign of the colonial inheritance of the region. Introductions and conclusions to the various sections of the History written by the respective subeditors, set them in proper perspective. The unique synoptic aspect of the History lies in its comprehensiveness and its range, which are unequaled."Contributors" A. James Arnold, Julio Rodriguez-Luis, H.

For much of the nineteenth century and all of the twentieth, the per capita rate of suicide in Cuba was the highest in Latin America and among the highest in the world--a condition made all the more extraordinary in light of Cuba's historic ties to the Catholic church. In this richly illustrated social and cultural history of suicide in Cuba, Louis A. Perez Jr. explores the way suicide passed from the unthinkable to the unremarkable in Cuban society. In a study that spans the experiences of enslaved Africans and indentured Chinese in the colony, nationalists of the twentieth-century republic, and emigrants from Cuba to Florida following the 1959 revolution, Perez finds that the act of suicide was loaded with meanings that changed over time. Analyzing the social context of suicide, he argues that in addition to confirming despair, suicide sometimes served as a way to consecrate patriotism, affirm personal agency, or protest injustice. The act was often seen by suicidal persons and their contemporaries as an entirely reasonable response to circumstances of affliction, whether economic, political, or social. Bringing an important historical perspective to the study of suicide, Perez offers a valuable new understanding of the strategies with which vast numbers of people made their way through life--if only to choose to end it. To Die in Cuba ultimately tells as much about Cubans' lives, culture, and society as it does about their self-inflicted deaths.

"This book tells readers: tracing the classical music networks that Cuban composers cultivated between 1940 and 1991 through examining compositions, ensembles, and cultural institutions with a microhistorical approach. It sets the foundation for investigating how aesthetics and politics intersected in the case studies explored throughout the book: individual points of view largely determined the degree to which composers engaged in various local and international artistic networks; and these networks were constantly being nurtured and shaped by their actors, who also had to contend with national and global political and economic circumstances. This chapter provides readers with working definitions of key concepts: modernism, avant-garde, experimentalism, and vanguardia. Key figures Fernando Ortiz and Alejo Carpentier and their contributions to the intellectual milieu that Cuban composers inhabited -especially the concepts of transculturation and lo real maravilloso, respectively-are also discussed. It contextualizes the book within existing scholarship on 20th-century classical music of the Americas, Eastern Europe, and the Cold War, as well as those dealing with Cuban music and Cuban studies more broadly"--
