While revolutionary wars raged in Cuba, expatriates envisioned, dissected, and redefined meanings of independence and nationhood. An underlying element was the concept of Cubanidad, a shared sense of what it meant to be Cuban. Deeply influenced by discussions of slavery, freedom, masculinity, and United States imperialism, the question of what and who constituted “being Cuban” remained in flux and often, suspect. The first book to explore Cuban racial and sexual politics in New York during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Suspect Freedoms chronicles the largely unexamined and often forgotten history of more than a hundred years of Cuban exile, migration, diaspora, and community formation. Nancy Raquel Mirabal delves into the rich cache of primary sources, archival documents, literary texts, club records, newspapers, photographs, and oral histories to write what Michel Rolph Trouillot has termed an “unthinkable history.” Situating this pivotal era within larger theoretical discussions of potential, future, visibility, and belonging, Mirabal shows how these transformations complicated meanings of territoriality, gender, race, power, and labor. She argues that slavery, nation, and the fear that Cuba would become “another Haiti” were critical in the making of early diasporic Cubanidades, and documents how, by the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Afro-Cubans were authors of their own experiences; organizing movements, publishing texts, and establishing important political, revolutionary, and social clubs. Meticulously documented and deftly crafted, Suspect Freedoms unravels a nuanced and vital history.Culture, labor, history.CubansNew York (State)New YorkHistory19th centuryCubansNew York (State)New YorkHistory20th centuryImmigrantsNew York (State)New YorkHistoryExilesNew York (State)New YorkHistoryCubansNew York (State)New YorkEthnic identityHistoryCubansHistoryCubansHistoryImmigrantsHistory.ExilesHistory.CubansEthnic identityHistory.305.8009747Mirabal Nancy Raquel, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1378860DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910151635203321Suspect Freedoms3417914UNINA
