Описание:
Dr. Ferm n Vald s Dominguez was living in Tampa, Florida in 1895 when he received his orders to report to General Seraf n S nchez in Key West. After a failed attempt to launch a filibuster from Fernandina Beach, Florida in January 1895, the Cuban migr community in Key West organized another military expedition that would leave Big Pine Key to bring much needed munitions and medical supplies to the insurgents in Cuba. Once the expedition landed in Cuba, the new recruits joined the insurrection army and fought bravely to free Cuba from Spain.
Ferm n Vald s' diary gives readers a first hand account of the war as we share his optimism when he first steps foot on Cuban soil where he was promoted to Colonel and served as Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban Revolutionary Army, M ximo G mez. Ferm n Vald s' optimism turns to disillusionment as he witnesses the daily brutality of the war and the power struggle between the Commander-in-Chief, M ximo G mez and the President of the Republic of Cuba, Salvador Cisneros Betancourt. Later, Ferm n Vald s served under Lt. General Jos Maceo, who shared the same vision of Ferm n Vald s'childhood friend, Jos Mart that Cuba would be a country where blacks and whites would peacefully coexist. This shared vision is shattered as Ferm n Vald s' documents the resentment of certain governmental officials towards Jos Maceo, a black officer, whom they want to replace with a white officer. Vald s' diary describes the plight of the civilians who are forced by the Spanish general Valeriano Wyler to relocate to towns controlled by the Spanish and consequently, thousands of Cubans died of starvation and disease.
Ferm n Vald s' original diary, Diario de Soldado, consists of four volumens that were published in 1908 in Cuba and reprinted by the University of Havana in 1974. This edition of Diary of a Soldier is the first English translation, which contains the important events of the war and provides readers with valuable insights into the characters of its military leaders and details the struggles of the third attempt of Cubans to free themselves from Spain. What sets Ferm n Vald s diary apart is that he chronicles not only the historical details of the campaign, but provides us with an emotional description of the bitter campaign being waged by both sides and his disappointment in both the civilian and military leadership. His passionate criticism of the immoral conduct of his fellow officers and the ambitious plots of the government officials are revealed in detail. At times, grief overcomes him as he expresses sorrow for the loss of his friends including his close childhood friend, Jos Mart .
Ferm n Vald s felt the pain of the people who struggled to gain their ultimate goal, the independence of Cuba, a Cuba Libre where both blacks and whites had the same opportunities to work and provide for their families.
Описание: A Black Puerto Rican-born scholar, Arturo Alfonso Schomburg (1874-1938) was a well-known collector and archivist whose personal library was the basis of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. He was an autodidact who matched wits with university-educated men and women, as well as a prominent Freemason, a writer, and an institution-builder. While he spent much of his life in New York City, Schomburg was intimately involved in the cause of Cuban and Puerto Rican independence. In the aftermath of the Spanish-Cuban-American War of 1898, he would go on to cofound the Negro Society for Historical Research and lead the American Negro Academy, all the while collecting and assembling books, prints, pamphlets, articles, and other ephemera produced by Black men and women from across the Americas and Europe. His curated library collection at the New York Public Library emphasized the presence of African peoples and their descendants throughout the Americas and would serve as an indispensable resource for the luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance, including Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston. By offering a sustained look at the life of one of the most important figures of early twentieth-century New York City, this first book-length examination of Schomburg's life as an Afro-Latino suggests new ways of understanding the intersections of both Blackness and latinidad.
Poema heroyco hispano-latino (1687), a national chronicle or "epic poem," commemorates the founding and greatness of Lima, Peru. Its unique rhymed quatrains can be read in either Latin or Spanish with equal meaning, and its insightful marginal notes interpret the city's cultural history. Rodrigo de Valdes (1609-1682) underscores the decadence of peninsular Spanish letters in contrast to the compositions of New World writers. The poem is a tribute to the superiority, versatility, and interchangeability of Spanish and Latin as instruments of power that led to Spain's world dominance, and to Lima as the locus of marvels and a quasi biblical garden of delights.
Lima has occupied without exception a privileged space within the colonial situation, as a metaphorical sovereign of new-world experiences and potentialities. Influenced by the spirit of Baroque sensibilities and Creole pride in his patria, Valdes bequeathed to Lima a staged panegyric that served as King Charles II's introduction to the bounty of his American colony. Valdes, acting as commentator, guides the reader through a journey that spans centuries of Peru's illustrious history. Working within the classical tradition of laus urbis or the praise of cities, Valdes depicts America as a paradise found with Lima at its center.
In tracing the poem's relationship to the genre of classical panegyrics, Neal A. Messer and Jerry M. Williams argue its literary merits and elucidate how it enriches the colonial family of Latin American texts. Republished for the first time, this critical edition introduces Valdes to students and scholars of Ibero-American letters.
