This book reinterprets Wifredo Lam's work with particular attention
to its political implications, focusing on how these implications
emerge from the artist's critical engagement with 20th-century
anthropology. Field work conducted in Cuba, including the
witnessing of actual Afro-Cuban religious ritual ceremonies and
information collected from informants, enhances the interpretive
background against which we can construe the meanings of Lam's art.
In the process, Claude Cernuschi argues that Lam hoped to fashion a
new hybrid style to foster pride and dignity in the Afro-Cuban
community, as well as counteract the acute racism of Cuban culture.
