Date Issued:
1981
Summary:
Political protest has been prominent in Cuban poetry since the nineteenth- century, and pro- American Cuban poets have always been rare. There seem to be two main developments of the image of the American. Prior to 1959, there was intense nationalism as a reaction to American imperialism. Later, the negative image of American capitalism was formed, in part, by Marxist ideology. In poetry published after 1959 the image of the American recurs on three levels: military, cultural, and social. The image of the American as a military invader, economic imperialist, threat to Cuban mores and cultural values, and racist existed before the 1959 Revolution and continues to be an underlying theme in contemporary Cuban poetry.
