Writing Secrecy in Caribbean Free Masonry analyzes the Masonic,
literary, and political writings of Andres Cassard, Ramon E.
Betances, Jose Marti, Arturo Schomburg, and Rafael Serra, Spanish
Caribbean intellectuals who lived in the decades of anti-colonial
struggle in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola (1860-1898). In the
Caribbean, Masonic notions of liberal freedom coincided with the
legacies of empire and colonial slavery, creating languages of
secrecy, dissent, and radical affective politics that influenced
radical Caribbean political cultures in the turn of the nineteenth
century. By analyzing the lives, writings, and activism of these
exiled Masonic intellectuals, this book provides insights into the
Pan-Caribbean formations of nation and diaspora and sheds light on
the role of print-culture, Masonic ritual and languages, racial
ideologies, and community in the Caribbean and the United
States.
Addressing the transnational relationships of Freemasonry,
politics, and culture in the field of Latin American and Caribbean
literatures and cultures, Writing Secrecy provides insight into
Pan-Caribbean, transnational and diasporic formations of these
Masonic lodges and their influences on political and cultural
discourses in the Americas.
