Cuban Cultural Heritage explores the role that cultural heritage
and museums played in the construction of a national identity in
postcolonial Cuba. Starting with independence from Spain in 1898
and moving through Cuban-American rapprochement in 2014, Pablo
Alonso Gonzalez illustrates how political and ideological shifts
have influenced ideas about heritage and how, in turn, heritage has
been used by different social actors to reiterate their status,
spread new ideologies, and consolidate political regimes. Unveiling
the connections between heritage, power, and ideology, Alonso
Gonzalez delves into the intricacies of Cuban history, covering key
issues such as Cuba's cultural and political relationships with
Spain, the United States, the Soviet Union, and so-called Third
World countries; the complexities of Cuba's status as a
postcolonial state; and the potential future paths of the
Revolution in the years to come. This volume offers a detailed look
at the function and place of cultural heritage under socialist
states.
