"[...] The sun, that I had seen rising on the undiscovered hills of Cuba, was sinking behind the apprehended city; it touched the caryatids of the Gallego Club and enveloped, in a diminished gold like a fine suffusion of precious dust, the circular avenue, the royal palms, the flambeau trees and Indian laurels, of the plaza. The whiteness of the buildings, practically unbroken, everywhere took on the tone of every moment: now they were faintly aureate, as though they had been lightly touched by a gilder's brush; the diffused shadows were violet. The shadows slowly thickened and merged; they seemed to swell upward from the streets, the Parque; and the buildings, in turn, became lavender, and then, again, a glimmering white. Only the lifted green of the palms was changeless, positive, until it was lost in darkness.[...]".

HAVANA'S HISTORY AT A GLANCE: San Cristóbal de La Habana was founded in 1519. The city began as a small collection of huts that eventually became the Spanish Empire's main naval station in the world. La Habana became a thriving, entrepreneurial port, the Caribbean's lighthouse-city, within the colonial Spanish Caribbean, due to its excellent harbor and strategic position facing the Gulf Stream. In 1553, Havana became the island's capital. In the 16th century and beginning of the 17th the city was attacked and besieged on several occasions by French, British and Dutch pirates, which catalyzed the construction of defenses, including massive walls. Its occupation by the British in 1762 led to Havana being exchanged for Florida, an indication of the high value the King of Spain placed on it. The King ordered the reinforcement of its fortifications to the highest possible level. Havana thus became the best protected of the ports in Spanish America. By 1810 the Spanish Main was imploding, and Havana ceased to be a must-stop trading post. Cuba remained part of Spain until 1898, perhaps because of its amazing wealth, its siege fortress tradition and extreme militarization. The country's destiny after 1898 was closely linked to the United States. As the largest of the islands in continental proximity between the subtropics and the tropics, and between English and Spanish America, Cuba was surrounded and affected by different socio-political trends. All this adds exoticism to Havana's urban culture. Its architecture includes buildings of great visual and cultural impact: Castillo del Morro (Morro Castle), Palacio del Segundo Cabo (Palace of the Second Corporal), Palacio de los Capitanes Generales (Captains-General Palace) or the Capitolio (Capitol Building). Havana, the "Paris of the Caribbean," was destined to become a place of refuge, a creative, hospitable, open and cosmopolitan city. As sweat turned into stone and mortar, a local way life, open to the world, became the distinguished trait of Habaneros as good hosts. On its flagpoles would wave proudly the flags of Spain, Britain, the U.S., and finally, Cuba. The sense of Cuban nationality was built around the concept of Havana, as presaged by the mass conducted at the site called El Templete in 1519. Perhaps more than a nationality, what the old stones of Havana exude is global universality.

El norteamericano Burt Glinn podría ser el fotógrafo extranjero que más testimonio visual obtuvo del minuto histórico que dió un vuelco revolucionario a la realidad cubana contemporánea. Algunos de sus más significativos trabajos han terminado siendo parte fundamentalmente integrante de la memoria visual del proceso que se desencadenó victoriosamente en el país, el 1ro de Enero de 1959. La atmósfera de efervescencia popular y el júbilo callejero de aquella jornada fueron magistralmente recogidos por el ojo inquisitivo del artista, que supo encontrar sentido y trascendencia en los gestos cargados de profunda emoción y colorido triunfalismo que caracterizaron la victoria de Fidel Castro y su ejército rebelde en Cuba; movimiento que desencadenaría un proceso transformador y radical que rápidamente sería visto con simpatía por el resto de los pueblos más pobres del continente americano.

One of the earliest and most important port cities in the New World, Havana quickly became a model for the planning and construction of other colonial cities. Beyond the Walled City tells the story of how Havana was conceived, built, and managed. Examining imperial efforts to police urban space from the late sixteenth century onward, Guadalupe García shows how the production of urban space was explicitly centered on the politics of racial exclusion and social control. Connecting colonial governing practices to broader debates on urbanization, the regulation of public spaces, and the racial dislocation of urban populations, Beyond the Walled City points to the ways in which colonialism is inscribed on modern topographies.
