Originally published in 1966, Miguel Barnet's Biography of a
Runaway Slave provides the written history of the life of Esteban
Montejo, who lived as a slave, as a fugitive in the wilderness, and
as a soldier fighting against Spain in the Cuban War of
Independence. A new introduction by one of the most preeminent
Afro-Hispanic scholars, William Luis, situates Barnet's
ethnographic strategy and lyrical narrative style as foundational
for the tradition of testimonial fiction in Latin American
literature. Barnet recorded his interviews with the 103-year-old
Montejo at the onset of the Cuban Revolution. This insurgent's
history allows the reader into the folklore and cultural history of
Afro-Cubans before and after the abolition of slavery. The book
serves as an important contribution to the archive of black
experience in Cuba and as a reminder of the many ways that the
present continues to echo the past.
