Cuba's first republican era (1902-1959) is principally understood
in terms of its failures and discontinuities, typically depicted as
an illegitimate period in the nation's history, its first three
decades and the overthrow of Machado at best a prologue to the
"real" revolution of 1959. State of Ambiguity brings together
scholars from North America, Cuba, and Spain to challenge this
narrative, presenting republican Cuba instead as a time of
meaningful engagement-socially, politically, and symbolically.
Addressing a wide range of topics-civic clubs and folkloric
societies, science, public health and agrarian policies, popular
culture, national memory, and the intersection of race and
labor-the contributors explore how a broad spectrum of Cubans
embraced a political and civic culture of national
self-realization. Together, the essays in State of Ambiguity recast
the first republic as a time of deep continuity in processes of
liberal state- and nation-building that were periodically
disrupted-but also reinvigorated-by foreign intervention and
profound uncertainty.Contributors. Imilcy Balboa Navarro, Alejandra
