Sarduy discusses Ned Sublette's work "Cuba and Its Music: From the First drums to the Mambo" and the importance of Cuban music throughout its culture. In the article Sarduy paraphrases Gabriel García Márquez and states that "it might be said that Cuba's musical history is not how it was lived by the musicians and their fans but how it has been remembered and told."
Analysis of this agricultural leader's views suggests Bailey sought "not to develop a more efficient, productive, and profitable agriculture, but to advance the larger cultural ideals of a 'self-sustaining' agriculture and personal happiness."

De Marinis states: "La extraordinaria y onerosa herencia legada por el boom de la literatura latinoamericana acercó como efecto inmediato para autores y críticos, una suerte de desconcierto y una búsqueda de caminos alternativos que permitieran superar tanto los fracasos de aquel movimiento como sus inadecuaciones respecto a los cambios contextuales que advinieron con el ocaso de la modernidad." He concludes "en el acto de la recepción, las clases marginales y periféricas (y sus artistas) procesan la información recibida, la transforman y la devuelven como acto de resistencia que las convierte en sujetos actives, productivos y, por ende, creativos, capaces de articular sus propios gustos y objetos estéticos."

Notes:
"Este cursillo va a tratar de una tésis sobre la formación de la literatura, apoyada fundamentalmente en textos de la novelística de García Márquez, lo cual indica usar un tanto a García Márquez como ejemplo para la demostración de una teoría literaria. Ahora bien, los textos fundamentales que vamos a trabajar son 'La hojarasca', 'El coronel no tiene quién le escriba', y 'Cien años de soledad'; además usaremos, desde luego, algunos otros materiales que pertenecen a cuentos o diversas fuentes e informaciones que reseñaré directamente y por extenso si es necesario."
