Contents The lived experience of race / Victor Aguilera Noriega -- The representation of race / Rigoberto López Pego -- Race and identity / Manuel Mendive Summary "Based on the firsthand testimony of prominent Afro-Cubans who live in Cuba, this book of interviews looks at ways that race affects daily life on the island." "All responded to four controversial questions: What is it like to be black in Cuba? How has the revolution made a difference? To what extent is that difference true today? What can be done? Exposing the contradictions of both racial stereotyping and cultural assimilation, their answers make the case that the issue of race in Cuba, no matter how hard to define, will not be ignored."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 181-200) Notes English Print version record Subject Black people -- Race identity -- Cuba Black people in art.
