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

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.
