Since the 19th century, assertions of a common, racially-mixed
Cuban identity based on acceptance of African descent have
challenged the view of Cubans as racially white. For the past two
centuries, these competing views of Cuban racial identity have
remained in continuous tension, while Cuban women and men make
their own racially oriented choices in family formation. Cuba's
Racial Crucible explores the historical dynamics of Cuban race
relations by highlighting the racially selective reproductive
practices and genealogical memories associated with family
formation. Karen Y. Morrison reads archival, oral-history, and
literary sources to demonstrate the ideological centrality and
inseparability of "race," "nation," and "family," in definitions of
Cuban identity. Morrison analyzes the conditions that supported the
social advance and decline of notions of white racial superiority,
nationalist projections of racial hybridity, and pride in African
descent.
