    World Directory of Minorities Americas MRG Directory –> Cuba –> Cuba Overview Print Page Close Window Cuba Overview Environment Peoples History Governance Current state of minorities and indigenous peoples Environment Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean. It is located 150 kilometres south of the tip of the US state of Florida and east of the Yucatán Peninsula. On the east, Cuba is separated by the Windward Passage from Hispaniola, the island shared by Haiti and Dominican Republic. The total land area is 114,524 sq km, which includes the Isla de la Juventud (formerly called Isle of Pines) and other small adjacent islands. Peoples Main languages: Spanish Main religions: Christianity (Roman Catholic, Protestant), syncretic African religions The majority of the population of Cuba is 51% mulatto (mixed white and black), 37% white, 11% black and 1% Chinese (CIA, 2001). However, according to the Official 2002 Cuba Census, 65% of the population is white, 10% black and 25% mulatto. Although there are no distinct indigenous communities still in existence, some mixed but recognizably indigenous Ciboney-Taino-Arawak-descended populations are still considered to have survived in parts of rural Cuba. Furthermore the indigenous element is still in evidence, interwoven as part of the overall population's cultural and genetic heritage. There is no expatriate immigrant population. More than 75 per cent of the population is classified as urban. The revolutionary government, installed in 1959, has generally destroyed the rigid social stratification inherited from Spanish colonial rule. During Spanish colonial rule (and later under US influence) Cuba was a major sugar-producing territory.

  • Areas and Periods of Culture in the Greater Antilles Irving Rouse
    AREAS AND PERIODS OF CULTURE IN THE GREATER ANTILLES IRVING ROUSE IN PREHISTORIC TIME, the Greater Antilles were culturally distinct, differingnot only from Florida to the north and Yucatan to the west but also, less markedly,from the Lesser Antilles to the east and south (Fig. 1).1 Within this major provinceof culture,it has been customaryto treat each island or group FIG.1. Map of the Caribbeanarea. of islands as a separatearchaeological area, on the assumptionthat each contains its own variant of the Greater Antillean pattern of culture. J. Walter Fewkes proposedsuch an approachin 19152 and worked it out seven years later.3 It has since been adopted, in the case of specific islands, by Harrington,4Rainey,5 and the writer.6 1 Fewkes, 1922, p. 59. 2 Fewkes, 1915, pp. 442-443. 3 Fewkes, 1922, pp. 166-258. 4 Harrington, 1921. 5 Rainey, 1940. 6 Rouse, 1939, 1941. 248 VOL. 7, 1951 CULTURE IN THE GREATERANTILLES 249 Recent work in connectionwith the CaribbeanAnthropological Program of Yale University indicates that this approach is too limited. As the distinction between the two major groups of Indians in the Greater Antilles-the Ciboney and Arawak-has sharpened, it has become apparent that the areas of their respectivecultures differ fundamentally,with only the Ciboney areas correspond- ing to Fewkes'conception of distributionby islands.The Arawak areascut across the islands instead of enclosing them and, moreover,are sharply distinct during only the second of the three periods of Arawak occupation.It is the purpose of the presentarticle to illustratethese points and to suggest explanationsfor them.

  • Analesiie08, UNAM, 1942. Chiapas: Su Arte Y Su Historia Coloniales
    CHIAPAS: SU ARTE Y SU HISTORIA COLONIALES POR SALVADOR TOSCANO LA CONQUISTA DESDE 1523 se inició la Conquista de Chiapas. La historia va unida a los nombres de Luis Mario y Diego de Mazariegos en la reduc­ ción de la alta meseta; Pedro de Alvarado en el litoral del Pacífico, y el propio Hernán Cortés en la zona selvática de la cuenca del Usuma­ cinta. En efecto, fué en 1523 cuando Luis Mario recibió soldados e ins­ trucciones de Cortés para pacificar la región de Chiapas. Casi todo el te­ rritorio mexicano había sido hollado por aquel10s años, conquistándose a totonacas, mbttecas, zapatecas, tarascos, colimenses, por capitanes en­ tre los que se contaban Pedro de Alvarado, Gonzalo de Sandoval, Fran­ cisco de Orozco, Cristóbal de 01id, etc. Vino a tocarle a l .. u1s Marin, vie- 27 jo conquistador que figuró entre los capitanes del sitio de Mé'óco, 1 re­ cibir órdenes de Hernán Cortés para salir de la villa de Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, y pacificar a los indios no reducidos de Chiapas. Bernal Díaz describe a Luis MarÍn como "bueno e no era malicioso" y refiere los he­ chos de la primera entrada de españoles a Chiapas como testigo presen­ cial; Z Marin entró por Iztapa de donde avanzó al poblado indígena de Chiapa, cabeza de los señoríos indígenas de aquella región, pues tenían sometidos a zaques, tzendales y quelenes, no estando ellas sujetos a los aztecas, cuya más cercana guarnición era la de Zinacantán. 3 Por la cua­ resma de 1523, afirma Bernal Díaz, llegaron los españoles a Chiapa, cuyas defensas naturales las constituían encrespados riscos y el río Grijalva, de­ fensas que, dice Remesal, los habían preservado de las conquistas mexica­ nas.

    FOLLOWING THE FOOTPRINTS OF COLONIAL BARCELONA Gustau Nerín It is hardly unusual to find people, even highly educated people, who claim Catalonia can analyse colonialism with sufficient objectivity given that it has never taken part in any colonial campaign and never been colonialist. Even though most historians do not subscribe to this view, it is certainly a common belief among ordinary people. Dissociating ourselves from colonialism is obviously a way of whitewashing our history and collective conscience. But Barcelona, like it or not, is a city that owes a considerable amount of its growth to its colonial experience. First, it is obvious that the whole of Europe was infected with colonial attitudes at the height of the colonial period, towards the end of the 19th century and first half of the 20th. Colonial beliefs were shared among the English, French, Portuguese and Belgians, as well as the Swedes, Swiss, Italians, Germans and Catalans. Colonialist culture was constantly being consumed in Barcelona as in the rest of Europe. People were reading Jules Verne’s and Emilio Salgari's novels, collecting money for the “poor coloured folk” at missions in China and Africa and raising their own children with the racist poems of Kipling. The film industry, that great propagator of colonial myths, inflamed passions in our city with Tarzan, Beau Geste and The Four Feathers. Barcelona’s citizens certainly shared this belief in European superiority and in the white man’s burden, with Parisians, Londoners and so many other Europeans. In fact, even the comic strip El Capitán Trueno, which was created by a communist Catalan, Víctor Mora, proved to be a perfect reflection of these colonial stereotypes.

Cuando Cristóbal Colón presentó en la Península Ibérica las producciones del recién descubierto Nuevo Mundo, y con su entusiasmada y poética imaginación describió los ricos y encantadores países encontrados al medio del Océano, las ima- ginaciones no menos vivas y pintorescas de los españoles se exaltaron, y el ardor nacional tomó el rumbo de las acciones arriesgadas y de las empresas de todo género. Multitud pro- digiosa de hombres dejó su patria, para ir allá muy lejos, en busca de nuevas comarcas, de reinos poderosos, de tesoros in- mensos, y allí enriquecer pronto, ganar fama, y destruyendo a los idólatras, hacer triunfar el culto de la Santa Cruz. Nobles y pecheros siguieron el impulso general, si bien aquellos fueron respectivamente en corto número. La turba de aventureros abandonaba su país confiada y satisfecha, con- tando sólo con su corazón y con su espada. Terminaban en España las porfiadas y sangrientas guerras contra los moros; estaban frescas aún las memorias de las hazañas prodigiosas re- matadas en la Vega de Granada por los cumplidos caballeros cristianos; se admiraban todavía las proezas de los zegries y de los abencerrajes; se enardecía el pueblo con la relación de los sitios y de los combates, abultados y revestidos de formas fantásticas en las tradiciones populares; y el orgullo de la victoria, largo tiempo disputada y por heroicos esfuerzos con- seguida, infundía seguridad en los ánimos y les daba suficien- ' cia.

  • Restoration of a San Diego Landmark Casa De Bandini, Lot 1, Block 451
    1 Restoration of a San Diego Landmark BY VICTOR A. WALSH Casa de Bandini, Lot 1, Block 451, 2600 Calhoun Street, Old Town SHP [California Historical Landmark #72, (1932); listed on National Register of Historic Places (Sept. 3, 1971) as a contributing building] From the far side of the old plaza, the two-story, colonnaded stucco building stands in the soft morning light—a sentinel to history. Originally built 1827-1829 by Don Juan Bandini as a family residence and later converted into a hotel, boarding house, olive pickling factory, and tourist hotel and restaurant, the Casa de Bandini is one of the most significant historic buildings in the state.1 In April 2007, California State Parks and the new concessionaire, Delaware North & Co., embarked on a multi-million dollar rehabilitation and restoration of this historic landmark to return it to its appearance as the Cosmopolitan Hotel of the early 1870s. This is an unprecedented historic restoration, perhaps the most important one currently in progress in California. Few other buildings in the state rival the building’s scale or size (over 10,000 square feet) and blending of 19th-century Mexican adobe and American wood-framing construction techniques. It boasts a rich and storied history—a history that is buried in the material fabric and written and oral accounts left behind by previous generations. The Casa and the Don Bandini would become one of the most prominent men of his day in California. Born and educated in Lima, Peru and the son of a Spanish master trader, he arrived in San Diego around 1822.2 In 1827, Governor José María Echeandia granted him and, José Antonio Estudillo, his future father-in-law, adjoining house lots on the plaza, measuring “…100 varas square (or 277.5 x 277.5’) in common,….”3 Through his marriage to Dolores Estudillo and, after her death in 1833, to Refugio Argüello, the daughter of another influential Spanish Californio family, Bandini carved out an illustrious career as a politician, civic leader, and rancher.

  • Un Paseo Por Las Huellas De La Barcelona Colonial
    UN PASEO POR LAS HUELLAS DE LA BARCELONA COLONIAL Gustau Nerín No es del todo inusual encontrarse con personas, incluso de una elevada formación intelectual, que alegan que Cataluña puede analizar con bastante distanciamiento el colonialismo porque nunca ha estado involucrada en ninguna campaña colonial y nunca ha sido colonialista. Aunque la mayoría de los historiadores no suscribirían este discurso, es cierto que está bastante extendido en la calle. Desmarcarse del colonialismo es, obviamente, una forma de blanquear nuestra historia y nuestra conciencia colectiva. Pero Barcelona, nos guste o nos duela, es una ciudad que ha crecido marcada por la experiencia colonial. En primer lugar, es obvio que toda Europa se vio contaminada por el pensamiento colonial en el periodo más álgido del colonialismo, entre finales del siglo XIX y la primera mitad del XX. Las creencias coloniales eran compartidas por ingleses, franceses, portugueses y belgas, pero también por suecos, suizos, italianos, alemanes y catalanes. En Barcelona, como en toda Europa, la cultura colonialista se consumía de forma constante. Se leían las novelas de Jules Verne y de Emilio Salgari, se hacían provisiones para los “negritos” de las misiones de China y de África y los niños se educaban con los racistas poemas de Rudyard Kipling. El cine, ese gran avalista de los mitos coloniales, sacudió esta ciudad con sus Tarzán, Beau Geste y Las cuatro plumas. Sin duda, los barceloneses compartían la creencia de la superioridad europea y de la misión del hombre blanco, común entre los parisinos, los londinenses y tantos otros europeos. De hecho, incluso los cómics de El Capitán Trueno, creados por un comunista catalán, Víctor Mora, reproducían a la perfección todos los estereotipos coloniales.

  • A Reinvestigation of La Casa De Machado Y Stewart, Old Town State Historic Park, San Diego
    A Reinvestigation of La Casa de Machado y Stewart, Old Town State Historic Park, San Diego, California Patrick Scott Geyer, Kristie Anderson, Anna DeYoung, and Jason Richards Overview This article addresses the important role that archaeological field and laboratory techniques play in preserving and restoring an historic San Diego landmark, La Casa de Machado y Stewart. Two separate archaeological excavations were undertaken by two local universities almost thirty-five years apart in an attempt to help the California State Department of Parks and Recreation historically renovate the dilapidated residence and recreate the gardens surrounding it with flora appropriate for the period. The recovery of olive and grape pollen during the latter excavation provided evidence for the continued presence of Spanish and Anglo-American agricultural enterprises in Old Town San Diego. Furthermore, statistically significant amounts of Zea mays (maize) and Phaseolus sp. (bean) pollen suggest the existence of pre-contact Native American agriculture. Background Ever since 74-year old Jose Manuel Machado built it in the 1830s, the Machado-Stewart residence has stood in the area now commonly referred to as Old Town San Diego State Historic Park. In February of 1845, Jack/John Stewart married Jose Manuel Machado’s youngest daughter Rosa and moved into the Machado home. Rosa subsequently gave birth to eleven children in this residence. Descendents of this union continued to live in the single-story adobe dwelling until the final resident, Mrs. Carmen Meza, was forced to leave due to severe damage caused by the rains of 1966 (Ezell and Broadbent 1968). In 1967, an ad-hoc committee acquired the historical adobe and prevented its destruction.
