It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

B. Brodey and Todd Ramón Ochoa) This dissertation is a critical analysis and annotated translation, from Spanish into English, of the book Reglas de Congo: Palo Monte Mayombe, by the Cuban anthropologist, artist, and writer Lydia Cabrera (1899-1991). Cabrera’s text is a hybrid ethnographic book of religion, slave narratives (oral history), and folklore (songs, poetry) that she devoted to a group of Afro-Cubans known as “los Congos de Cuba,” descendants of the Africans who were brought to the Caribbean island of Cuba during the trans-Atlantic Ocean African slave trade from the former Kongo Kingdom, which occupied the present-day southwestern part of Congo-Kinshasa, Congo-Brazzaville, Cabinda, and northern Angola. The Kongo Kingdom had formal contact with Christianity through the Kingdom of Portugal as early as the 1490s.

  • Desarrollo Funcional De La Ciudad De La Habana
    <(Revistade Geograf fan, vol.'XVIII. Barcelona, 1984, pp. 11 1-122. Desarrollo funcional de la ciudad de La Habana por ANDRAS KERl * Palabras clave: Cambios funcionales; ciudad de La Habana; época colonial; época neocolonial; población de La Habana, zonificación funcional de La Habana. La ciudad de La Habana, capital de Cuba, con dos millones de habitantes en 1983, es la mayor concentración de población del archipiélago del Caribe, asi como la ciudad mas importante por su peso económico y politico. La Habana muestra caracteristicas muy particulares en su desarrollo urbano. Desde su fundación en 1519 podemos diferenciar tres etapas. La primera corresponde a la época colonial espafiola con sus rasgos caracteristicos, muy parecidos a 10s de las demas ciudades coloniales fundadas por 10s europeos. La segunda se inicia a principios del siglo xx bajo la dominación norteamericana, y la tercera corresponde a la etapa socialista con grandes transformaciones estructurales, morfológicas y funcionales. Asi pues, en La Habana actual coexisten elementos caracteristicos de las ciudades del tercer mundo, de las ciudades de desarrollo urbzjno tip0 norteamericano y, desde hace veinticinco anos, caracteristicas de las ciudades de 10s paises socialistas. La época colonial La Habana obtuvo el titulo de ciudad en 1592, aunque ya desde 1553 era capital de la isla. Fue denominada por la Real Cédula <<Llavedel Nuevo Mundo y Antemural de las Indias Occidentalesn.
