1 vol., "En este primer volumen de Historia Afrouruguaya se abordan aspectos de las culturas africanas antes de la trata de esclavizados y sus costumbres. Se indica cuáles fueron los pueblos de África que estuvieron forzadamente aquí, su ubicación geográfica y los países que se beneficiaron con el tráfico humano. Ya en el Prólogo, realizado por Fidèle Diarra, Embajador de la República de Malí en Cuba, se comienzan a aportar aspectos en muchos puntos novedosos acerca de la presencia africana anterior a Colón en lo que sería luego llamado América. Oscar Montaño analiza censos y estadísticas para establecer la cantidad de población afro que habitaba Montevideo a comienzos del siglo XIX, las actividades que debieron realizar, la violencia que sufrieron y la forma en que lograron sobrevivir. El origen del Candombe y los primeros cantos de protesta de los africanos en estas tierras se abordan en el Capítulo final." --Back cover.

342 p, Examines how the low socioeconomic status of the black population in Cuba informs the representation of black characters in Cuban narrative fiction. From its very first example (Espejo de paciencia, 1608) until the most recent short fiction written after the 1959 Revolution, Cuban narrative fiction has played (and still plays) an important role in creating and maintaining the subaltern position of the black population in Cuba.

249 p., "On the opposite side of the Paraguay River, the Gran Chaco, has founded a large quilombo or establishment of fugitives, where Brazil and Argentina, eastern and Paraguayans live together in mutual friendship or enmity with the rest of the world." So wrote Sir Richard Burton, traveling consul of Her Britannic Majesty. War was declared. In this fictional account the authors recreate alternatives to that struggle: dialogue between General Mitre and his deputy, the painter Candido Lopez; the last period of resistance Marshal Solano Lopez and his wife, Madame Lynch; the defection of Argentine captain Francisco Paunero; the secret archives of General Rocha Uruguayan Dellpiane, and the anodyne existence of Baron VII Ramalho, a descendant of one of the conspirators of Quilombo Gran Chaco.

Notes:
296 p, This book was originally published in 1959 in Cuba which includes the rituals of the Society Abakua narrated according to the author. The secret society fraternal, religious , cultural and mutual Abakua , created in 1836 and then built by African slaves for the purpose of dealing with the abuses of slavery. Because of their unquestionable contribution to the racial and cultural integration of the Cuban nation, the Abakua Society was eventually legally recognized.
The Caribbean space is characterized by its cultural pluralism and is the scene of one of the most complex processes of syncretism and transculturation in America. Music, as an element of integration and at the same time of regional differentiation, is deeply rooted in the collective consciousness of the people of the Caribbean and is strongly associated with the identity that defines the region.

Translation of: The pearl of the Antilles; or, An artist in Cuba.
Originally published: London, H.S. King, 1873., 308 P., "Cuba having lately become a prominent object of attention, both to Europe and America, I venture to think that any trustworthy information that can be given respecting it, may prove acceptable to the reader. I approach my task with no great pretensions, but yet with an experience acquired by many years' residence in the Island, and an intimate intercourse with its inhabitants. I arrived there in 1864, when Cuba was enjoying uninterrupted peace and prosperity, and my departure took place in the first year of her adversity. Having thus viewed society in the Island under the most opposite conditions, I have had various and ample opportunities of studying its institutions, its races and its government; and in availing myself of these opportunities I have endeavoured, as far as possible, to avoid those matters which are alike common to life in Spain and in Cuba." --The Author
