Sommario/riassunto

After Cuba's independence, nationalists aimed to transcend racial categories in order to create a unified polity. But racial and cultural heterogeneity posed continual challenges to these liberal notions of citizenship. Alejandra Bronfman traces the formation of Cuba's multiracial legal and political order in the early Republic.
