Abstract

VALERO, Silvia. WITHOUT «CLASSES» NOR «RACES»: THE CUBA'S IMAGINED COMMUNITY IN EL COLUMPIO, DE REY SPENCER. Linguist.lit. [online]. 2014, n.66, pp.171-188. ISSN 0120-5587.

This paper analyzes how the novel El columpio, de Rey Spencer, by the Cuban writer Marta Rojas, represents the century end's Cuba through a community imagined without conflicts of «race» nor «class», as a result of the triumph of the «revolutionary new man». In front of the changes produced in Cuba as an effect of the Soviet block's collapse, I will argue about the writer's difficulty to assume the representation of the official recognition according to the continuity of racism.

Keywords : Afro-Cubanity; racism; Revolution; «race»; «class».
