Book excerpt: Las Gallegas de Cuba, contiene testimonios y semblanzas estremecedoras de emigrantes que han enriquecido la cultura, economia y espiritualidad de la sociedad cubana. Para la autora significo experimentar emociones diversas al conocer a hijas de Galicia que construyeron sus destinos, con esperanza y sufrimiento, en los vaivenes de vidas transcurridas la mayor parte del tiempo en La Habana. Evocar sus pasados quizas parezca que las saudades restanaron, sin embargo ese lapso fue tan largo y dificil como la aspiracion de conquistar un futuro mejor. No todo para las gallegas significo coser y cantar. Ellas son las que mas sufrieron la separacion familiar y vivieron largos anos en Cuba sin proteccion alguna.Decenas de mozas fueron vilmente explotadas por los tios y conocidos en el negocio de la prostitucion o ellas mismas prefirieron prostituirse antes de deambular por las calles en la condicion de mendigas. Abandonadas a su suerte y cruelmente explotadas en el trabajo, la mayoria jamas pudo ahorrar dinero para comprar el pasaje de regreso a la aldea y continuaron sobreviviendo en Cuba, mientras tributaron sus platos tipicos a la cocina criolla, y ensenaban a las cubanas reinar con las agujas en complicados tejidos y bordados. Fueron pulcras lavanderas, planchadoras y costureras. Unos 700 galicianos viven hoy en la Isla, y de la cifra mas de 500 son mujeres entre 60 y90 anos de edad. La nueva generacion de cubanas-gallegas, nacida en la Isla, mantiene las raices galaicas con una activa participacion en las diez sociedades culturales.

Download or read book Galician Migrations: A Case Study of Emerging Super-diversity written by Renée DePalma and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This focused case study analyses the roots of super-diversity in a place where immigration is an emerging phenomenon, Northwestern Spain (Galicia). It is characterized by a mostly rural population, an aging demographic, and a historically depressed economy. Yet the region has recently experienced a significant increase in immigration - a reversal of the region’s historically pronounced trend of emigration. To understand immigration in its early stages, this book takes a historical approach that focuses on diversities that go beyond nationality. It explores local yet international phenomena such as different patterns of return migration, transnational community and familial relationships, and niche labour markets. The book takes a broad interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on sociology, anthropology, history, sociolinguistics, literature, and education, to provide a detailed case study analysis. While the case is specific, many other geographic regions will share some of the factors the book explores. Understanding how these factors interact will provide a useful point of contrast for analysing them in a range of other international contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though open public discussion of the oppression of women was precluded by the nature of Hispanic societies during the nineteenth century, some Hispanic women - among them the Cuban writer Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda - subtly sought to promote ideas of emancipation. Focusing upon her autobiographical letters and a selection of her novels, and drawing on contemporary psychoanalytical feminist theory, this book traces the evolution of Avellaneda's feminism, showing how she developed a series of narrative techniques and stylistic resources to explore male and female self-representation, and subvert the existing textual tradition. Fashioning Feminism in Cuba and Beyond establishes Avellaneda at the forefront of both Cuban and Hispanic nineteenth-century literature and feminist thought.

Download or read book International Migration in Cuba written by Margarita Cervantes-Rodríguez and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the arrival of the Spanish conquerors at the beginning of the colonial period, Cuba has been hugely influenced by international migration. Between 1791 and 1810, for instance, many French people migrated to Cuba in the wake of the purchase of Louisiana by the United States and turmoil in Saint-Domingue. Between 1847 and 1874, Cuba was the main recipient of Chinese indentured laborers in Latin America. During the nineteenth century as a whole, more Spanish people migrated to Cuba than anywhere else in the Americas, and hundreds of thousands of slaves were taken to the island. The first decades of the twentieth century saw large numbers of immigrants and temporary workers from various societies arrive in Cuba. And since the revolution of 1959, a continuous outflow of Cubans toward many countries has taken place—with lasting consequences. In this book, the most comprehensive study of international migration in Cuba ever undertaken, Margarita Cervantes-Rodríguez aims to elucidate the forces that have shaped international migration and the involvement of the migrants in transnational social fields since the beginning of the colonial period. Drawing on Fernand Braudel’s concept of longue durée, transnational studies, perspectives on power, and other theoretical frameworks, the author places her analysis in a much wider historical and theoretical perspective than has previously been applied to the study of international migration in Cuba, making this a work of substantial interest to social scientists as well as historians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once one of the most important port cities in the New World, Havana was a model for the planning and construction of other colonial cities. This book tells the story of how Havana was conceived, built, and managed and explores the relationship between colonial empire and urbanization in the Americas. Guadalupe García shows how the policing of urban life and public space by imperial authorities from the sixteenth century onward was explicitly centered on politics of racial exclusion and social control. She illustrates the importance of colonial ideologies in the production of urban space and the centrality of race and racial exclusion as an organizing ideology of urban life in Havana. Beyond the Walled City connects colonial urban practices to contemporary debates on urbanization, the policing of public spaces, and the urban dislocation of black and ethnic populations across the region"--Provided by publisher.
