Böcker av Bonnie A. Lucero

One of the most paradoxical aspects of Cuban history is the coexistence of national myths of racial harmony with lived experiences of racial inequality. In this book a historian addresses this issue by examining the ways soldiers and politicians coded their discussions of race in ideas of masculinity during Cuba's transition from colony to republic.

Drawing on the insights of intersectional feminism, Bonnie Lucero shows that the key to understanding racial segregation in Cuba is recognising the often unspoken ways specifically classed notions and practices of gender shaped the historical production of race and racial inequality.
