While it was not until 1871 that slavery in Cuba was finally
abolished, African-descended people had high hopes for legal,
social, and economic advancement as the republican period started.
In Black Political Activism and the Cuban Republic , Melina
Pappademos analyzes the racial politics and culture of black civic
and political activists during the Cuban Republic. The path to
equality, Pappademos reveals, was often stymied by successive
political and economic crises, patronage politics, and profound
racial tensions. In the face of these issues, black political
leaders and members of black social clubs developed strategies for
expanding their political authority and for winning respectability
and socioeconomic resources. Rather than appeal to a monolithic
black Cuban identity based on the assumption of shared experience,
these black activists, politicians, and public intellectuals
consistently recognized the class, cultural, and ideological
differences that existed within the black community, thus
challenging conventional wisdom about black community formation and
anachronistic ideas of racial solidarity. Pappademos illuminates
the central, yet often silenced, intellectual and cultural role of
black Cubans in the formation of the nation's political structures;
in doing so, she shows that black activism was only partially
motivated by race. |While it was not until 1871 that slavery in

of black civic and political activists during an era fraught with
successive political and economic crises.
