This book was released on 2018 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALEGRÍA Y TRADICIÓN. Fiestas Populares Tradicionales Cubanas, es la primera obra que le ofrece al lector una amplia y detallada información relacionada con el complejo festivo tradicional de nuestro pueblo, ejemplo de cultura popular colectivamente concebida, tanto material como espiritual. Este tema forma parte de la obra científica Atlas Etnográfico de Cuba, Cultura Popular Tradicional Cubana, lo cual ha permitido rescatar las fiestas campesinas, de inmigrantes, carnavales, parrandas y charangas, verbenas, estas propias de ciudadanos ausentes, laborales y otras, desde el nivel del Municipio. La presente edición actualiza la investigación recogida en el texto publicado en el 2013 con el título Fiestas y Tradiciones Cubanas y es el primer estudio que enfoca la clasificación, conceptualización, origen étnico, el proceso evolutivo y calendario de todas las fiestas del país. Aporta, además, una reseña de cada grupo de ellas, su ubicación geográfica y estado actual de esta manifestación, la cual representa, quizás como ninguna, las características del cubano, que por su idiosincrasia es alegre, fiestero, siempre dispuesto a compartir en un ambiente de jolgorio, de ahí la cantidad y diversidad de las fiestas cubanas. Parafraseando a Don Fernando Ortiz, afirmamos como él que: …''Los pueblos que no tienen fiestas públicas, son pueblos caducos que van rodando hacia su disgregación y absorción por otros, son pueblos en germen que no han podido cristalizar sus expresiones de gozo en moldes propios y ya definidos''.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A luminous history of Cuba’s most dynamic and defining rituals and the ever-improvisational character of Cuban culture In the Cuban town of Sagua la Grande, a young Roberto González Echevarría peers out the window of his family home on the morning of the Nochebuena fiesta as preparations begin for the slaughter of a feast day pig. The author recalls “watching them at a distance, though thinking, fearing, that once I grew older I would have to participate in the whole event.” Now an acclaimed scholar of Latin American literature, González Echevarría returns to the rituals that defined his young life in Cuban Fiestas. Drawing from art, literature, film, and even the national sport of baseball, he vividly reveals the fiesta as a dynamic force of both destruction and renewal in the life of a people. Roberto González Echevarría masterfully exposes the distinctive elements of the fiesta cubana that give depth and coherence to more than two centuries of Cuban cultural life. Reaching back to nineteenth-century traditions of Cuban art and literature, and augmenting them, in the twentieth, with the arts of narrative, the esthetic performances of sport and entertainment in nightclubs, on the baseball diamond, and in movie theaters, Cuban Fiestas renders the lilting strains of the fiesta and drum beats of the passage of time as keys to understanding the dynamic quality of Cuban culture. González Echevarría’s explorations are also illuminated by autobiographical vignettes that unveil the ever-shifting impact of the fiesta on the author’s own story of exile and return.

This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Traces the ways that Cuban poets dealt with issues of national identity, reflected in their views of Afrocubanismo, often in response to historical changes in public and official opinions on the most visual manifestation of Afro-Cuban culture: carnival.”—Choice “Uncovers a wealth of literary texts, primarily poems, that chart the impact of las comparsas, Afro-Cuban festival dances, on mainstream Cuban life. . . . Investigates the ways in which the relationship between racial and ethnic divisions, and between castes and classes, created a literary movement full to the brim with emotional and sensational resonances.”—Wasafiri “Underscores the sociopolitical and historical contexts of these poems which have shaped the literary production and message of the Afrocubanismo movement. . . . A tour de force.”—Callaloo “Successfully plumbs the position of the Afro-Cuban performer and brings into sharp relief the way politicians historically sought to affect all elements of Cuban culture.”—New West Indian Guide Carnival and National Identity in the Poetry of Afrocubanismo offers thought-provoking new readings of poems by seminal Cuban poets, demonstrating how their writings affected the development of a recognizable Afro-Cuban identity. Thomas Anderson examines the long-running debate between the proponents of Afro-Cuban cultural manifestations and the predominantly white Cuban intelligentsia, who viewed these traditions as “backward” and counter to the interests of the young Republic. Including analyses of the work of Felipe Pichardo Moya, Alejo Carpentier, Nicolás Guillén, Emilio Ballagas, José Zacarías Tallet, Felix B. Caignet, Marcelino Arozarena, and Alfonso Camín, this rigorous, interdisciplinary volume offers a fresh look at the canon of Afrocubanismo and offers surprising insights into Cuban culture during the early years of the Republic.

Download or read book Beyond Cuban Waters written by Paul Ryer and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-first-century Cuba is a cultural stew. Tommy Hilfiger and socialism. Nike products and poverty in Africa. The New York Yankees and the meaning of "blackness." The quest for American consumer goods and the struggle in Africa for political and cultural independence inform the daily life of Cubans at every cultural level, as anthropologist Paul Ryer argues in Beyond Cuban Waters. Focusing on the everyday world of ordinary Cubans, this book examines Cuban understandings of the world and of Cuba's place in it, especially as illuminated by two contrasting notions: "La Yuma," a distinctly Cuban concept of the American experience, and "África," the ideological understanding of that continent's experience. Ryer takes us into the homes of Cuban families, out to the streets and nightlife of bustling cities, and on boat journeys that reach beyond the typical destinations, all to better understand the nature of the cultural life of a nation. This pursuit of Western status symbols represents a uniquely Cuban experience, set apart from other cultures pursuing the same things. In the Cuban case, this represents neither an acceptance nor rejection of the American cultural influence, but rather a co-opting or "Yumanizing" of these influences.
