While Fernando Ortiz's contribution to our understanding of Cuba
and Latin America more generally has been widely recognized since
the 1940s, recently there has been renewed interest in this scholar
and activist who made lasting contributions to a staggering array
of fields. This book is the first work in English to reassess
Ortiz's vast intellectual universe. Essays in this volume analyze
and celebrate his contribution to scholarship in Cuban history, the
social sciences notably anthropology and law, religion and national
identity, literature, and music. Presenting Ortiz's seminal
thinking, including his profoundly influential concept of
'transculturation', Cuban Counterpoints explores the bold new
perspectives that he brought to bear on Cuban society. Much of his
most challenging and provocative thinking which embraced
simultaneity, conflict, inherent contradiction and hybridity has
remarkable relevance for current debates about Latin America's
complex and evolving societies."
