Se hacía entonces (más) evidente el esencial mestizaje que define lo cubano. Por ello no es de extrañar el innegable protagonismo de que han gozado los mestizos en nuestra evolución en los dominios de la literatura, el teatro, la danza, la música, la plástica y las costumbres —ya como creadores, ya como personajes—. De esos procesos da fe este número de Signos como elogio apasionado de esa «Cuba mulata» que llevamos, y nos lleva, en la sangre.

  • Fernando Ortiz on Music
    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction Fernando Ortiz Ideology and Praxis of the Founder of Afro-Cuban Studies Robin D. Moore ernando Ortiz Fernández (1881–1969) is recognized today as one of the most influential Latin American authors of the twentieth century. FAmazingly prolific, his roughly one dozen books and 600 total publica- tions appearing between 1900 and the mid-1950s address a vast array of sub- jects and intersect with disciplines such as law, political science, history, ethnography, linguistics, sociology, folklore, geography, and musicology.1 Poet and essayist Juan Marinello described Ortiz as the “third discoverer of Cuba” (after Columbus and the Prussian geographer Alexander Humboldt), a phrase that has been widely repeated (Coronil 1995, ix). He single-handedly founded the journals Surco, Ultra, Revista bimestre cubana, Estudios afrocu- banos, and Archivos del folklore cubano, and contributed extensively to many others. He edited book collections on Cuban history and founded multiple societies dedicated to studying local culture. Ortiz corresponded with prom- inent anthropologists, folklorists, and other intellectuals throughout the Americas and beyond (Mário de Andrade, Roger Bastide, Ruth Benedict, Franz Boas, Melville Herskovits, Bronislaw Malinowski, Jean-Price Mars, Alfred Métraux, etc.). He mentored prominent international artists and aca- demics (such as Katherine Dunham and Robert Farris Thompson in the 1. Many of these have been cataloged in García-Carranza 1970.

Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.

    Acoustic Properties The FlashPoints series is devoted to books that consider literature beyond strictly national and disciplinary frameworks, and that are distinguished both by their historical grounding and by their theoretical and conceptual strength. Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present. Series titles are available online at http://escholarship.org/uc/flashpoints. series editors: Ali Behdad (Comparative Literature and English, UCLA), Founding Editor; Judith Butler (Rhetoric and Comparative Literature, UC Berkeley), Founding Editor; Michelle Clayton (Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature, Brown University); Edward Dimendberg (Film and Media Studies, Visual Studies, and European Languages and Studies, UC Irvine), Coordinator; Catherine Gallagher (English, UC Berkeley), Founding Editor; Nouri Gana (Comparative Literature and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, UCLA); Susan Gillman (Literature, UC Santa Cruz); Jody Greene (Literature, UC Santa Cruz); Richard Terdiman (Literature, UC Santa Cruz) A complete list of titles begins on page 314.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Bola’s Invitation: Details to Follow Piano keys are gently pressed. You listen along as the player’s hands begin to wander the instrument. The invitational and intimate notes signal the not- quite beginning of a show. It is a music of preparation, not a demonstration of mastery over an instrument. The sound is open, hospitable, and warm. You are not sure what direction it will go, or where you, the listener, will end up. The notes affect your stride; add gusto to your gestures. Your timing is adjusted. For the performer who is playing, the music helps to announce: I am not quite here and neither are you. The sound settles you in, not to dis- cipline you into a model audience, but so you can pour another drink, hang your purse on the back of a chair, nod to someone in the room, get another kiss, make sure the signal is strong. You are given some time to find a place in the event as it begins. What I begin to describe here is a moment from a performance by the Cuban composer and musician named Ignacio Villa, also known as Bola de Nieve. The nickname “Bola de Nieve” (Snowball) was offhandedly given to him by Rita Montaner, the great musical star of stage, radio, and screen as an ironic comment on his black skin and round face.1 His intimate salon style of performing and queer charisma made him one of the most magnetic and beloved Cuban musicians of any century. He was as known for his live, late- night shows during midcentury Cuban nightlife as for his radio appearances Downloaded from https://read.dukeupress.edu/books/chapter-pdf/86664/9780822378877-001.pdf by YALE UNIV user on 01 February 2018 that aired throughout Latin America.

  • DISPLACING MAGIC: AFRO-CUBAN STUDIES and the PRODUCTION of SANTERÍA, 1933-1956 David Adam Shefferman a Dissertation Submitted T
    DISPLACING MAGIC: AF RO -CUBAN STUDIES AND THE PRODUCTION OF SANTERÍA, 1933 -1956 David Adam Shefferman A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: Ruel W. Tyson Reader: Alberto Moreiras Reader: James Peacock Reader: Randall Styers Reader: Thomas Tweed © 2006 David Adam Shefferman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT DAVID ADAM SHEFFERMA N: Displacing Magic: Afro -Cuban Studies and the Production of Santería, 1933-1956 (Under the direction of Ruel W. Tyson) This study tracks magic as a recur ring and ambivalent figure in early -twentieth - century Cuban intellectual discourse. In the wake of Cuba’s formal political independence in 1902, magic surfaced as a major practical concern. Public debates swirled around questions about the place of ‘primit ive’ magical practices in Cuban society. In these collective discussions, African -inflected traditions in Cuba commonly stood as the embodiment of the primitive propensity to magic. The notion of “Afro -Cuban culture” emerged during the first years of indep endence and, in turn, the notion of “Afro -Cuban studies” as a field of social science also took shape. Thus, the title of the dissertation refers most immediately to the widespread call for the elimination, or displacement, of magic in general and of Afro -Cuban “witchcraft” [brujería ] in particular as means to Cuba’s realization as a truly independent and modern society. At the same time, magic also appeared in other ways in the public discussions on Cuba’s future.

ISSN 1851-7811. http://www.orbistertius.unlp.edu.ar What, no rhumba? Los recitales de Eusebia Cosme y las tensiones entre “raza” y cultura” en torno a la definición de la “poesía negra” hispanoamericana en los años treinta y cuarenta1 por Viviana Gelado (Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brasil) RESUMEN El presente artículo analiza, en líneas generales, el repertorio de las presentaciones de la recitadora cubana Eusebia Cosme entre 1934 y 1946, así como el diseño de los programas impresos de esas presentaciones. El propósito de este análisis es elucidar la importancia que ellas tuvieron en la constitución del canon de la moderna “poesía negra” hispanoamericana; investigar las motivaciones de los desplazamientos lexicales producidos en los atributos dados a esta poesía, e inquirir las razones de la persistencia, en el período, de las tensiones entre las categorías de “raza” y “cultura”. Palabras clave: Eusebia Cosme - poesía negra - cultura popular - vanguardia latinoamericana - raza y cultura ABSTRACT The present article broadly analyzes the repertoire of shows given by performer Eusebia Cosme between 1934 and 1946, as well as the design of the printed programs of such presentations. The purpose of our analysis is to value their importance in the formation of the modern Latin American “black poetry” canon, to explore the motivations for the lexical changes produced in the attributes given to the poetry, and to study the reasons for the persistence of tensions between the categories of race and class over the period.

  • En El Camino De La Igualdad Racial, 1912-1959
    Jorge Castellanos & Isabel Castellanos, Cultura Afrocubana, tomo 2, Universal, Miami 1990 CAPÍTULO IV EN EL CAMINO DE LA IGUALDAD RACIAL, 1912-1959 Si los cubanos queremos reconstruir la nación... tenemos que comenzar por reconstruir interiormente, dentro de cada uno de nosotros la integridad psicológica, étnica, histórica, cultural, compuesta por las razas que enraizaron en la Isla y por las gentes de todo origen que quisieron construir, a través de los siglos, el hermoso edificio de una Patria libre, justa y feliz, una Patria de todos. GASTÓN BAQUERO Jorge Castellanos & Isabel Castellanos, Cultura Afrocubana, tomo 2, Universal, Miami 1990 Jorge Castellanos & Isabel Castellanos, Cultura Afrocubana, tomo 2, Universal, Miami 1990 Desde los días de la Guerra del Año Doce hasta los de la dicta­ dura de Fulgencio Batista —la iniciada en 1952— el «problema negro» sigue, con mayor o menor ilación, los vaivenes del «problema cubano». Hay momentos de desilusión y desencanto. Y momentos de renacida esperanza. Hay momentos de graves tropiezos y deses­ perantes frustraciones. E instantes de lucha heroica, de grandes victorias y progresos, a veces obvios, a veces callados pero rotura­ dores. En ocasiones los extremos se tocan y ambas actitudes y resultados se producen al mismo tiempo. La primera etapa de este proceso culmina con la Constitución de 1940. Y a este período hay que dedicarle una brevísima mirada retrospectiva. La crisis de la conciencia cubana: 1902-1940 La primera generación republicana crece en una época domina­ da por un hondo pesimismo cívico que, sin embargo, misteriosa­ mente guardaba en el hondón los rescoldos de la antigua pasión patriótica y la fe en los destinos nacionales.

  • Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance
    Choreographing a New World: Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance Joanna Dee Das Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 ! 2014 Joanna Dee Das All rights reserved ABSTRACT Choreographing a New World: Katherine Dunham and the Politics of Dance Joanna Dee Das This dissertation analyzes the intellectual and political contributions of choreographer Katherine Dunham (1909-2006). As an African American woman, Dunham broke several barriers of race and gender, first as an anthropologist conducting ethnographic fieldwork in the Caribbean in the 1930s, and second as the artistic director of a major dance company that toured the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia from the 1930s through the 1960s. She also wrote several scholarly books and articles, opened multiple schools, and served on the boards of numerous arts organizations. Although Dunham’s contributions to anthropology and dance are vitally important, “Choreographing a New World” emphasizes her political engagement. Through actions both onstage and off, she helped strengthen the transnational ties of black social movements from the New Negro Movement to the Black Power Movement. In particular, the dissertation contends that Dunham made dance one of the primary forces in the creation and perpetuation of the African diaspora. She herself attempted to live diaspora by forging personal connections across racial, linguistic, national, class, and cultural borders. In order to shift the focus to Dunham’s intellectual and political engagement, “Choreographing a New World” turns to previously untapped archival sources. This dissertation is the first scholarly work on Dunham to examine archives from the U.S.

  • Introduction
    Introduction One afternoon late in 1929, two Afro-Cuban men visited the Havana home of an Afro-Cuban woman to conduct an interview for a newspa- per article. Nicolás Guillén was already known for his journalism and was on the way to becoming a renowned poet. His companion, Gustavo Urrutia, was a prominent figure in Afro-Cuban social and intellectual life as the editor of “Ideales de una Raza” (Ideals of a Race), a Sunday page on Afro-Cuban topics in El Diario de la Marina. Guillén published the interview in “Ideales” as “Señorita Consuelo Serra,” a title that revealed to readers his interviewee’s connection to Cuban history: Consuelo Serra was the daughter of Rafael Serra, the famous journalist and Cuban inde- pendence leader in the United States during the late nineteenth century.1 Serra proved a provocative interview, beyond the association with her father. She had migrated from Cuba to New York City when she was seven years old and lived there for fourteen years. She went to public school and graduated with degrees in English from Hunter College and education from the city’s Normal School before returning to the island in 1906.2 This was not lost on Guillén and Urrutia. In the article, Guillén describes how, on the afternoon in question, they come to Serra’s apart- ment, where a “girl, black and smiling” (niña negra y sonriente), opens the door. As they wait for their host, they note the very few paintings on the walls, a sign, Guillén says, of good taste. And then Serra arrives, also “smiling.” Her speech leaves an impression on Guillén: “despite having lived in the North for fourteen years, her Spanish is pure [con- serva límpido su castellano], without any of those incriminating Rs [erres 2 / introduction delatoras], pronounced with a grinding sound [como si se las triturara], that so clearly registers the influence of English.”3 Serra begins to com- ment on her college career, but Urrutia “interrupts her”: “Of course, a college exclusively for people of color [gente de color] .
