Provides invaluable insight into the histories and lives of Cubans who trace their origins to the Anglo-Caribbean."-Robert Whitney, author of State and Revolution in Cuba: Mass Mobilization and Political Change, 1920-1940   "Adds a missing piece to the existing literature about the renewal of black activism in Cuba, all the while showing the links and fractures between pre- and post-1959 society."-Devyn Spence Benson, Louisiana State University   In the early twentieth century, laborers from the British West Indies immigrated to Cuba, attracted by employment opportunities.

Their desire for social mobility, political engagement, and a better economic situation operated alongside the fight for black respectability. Unlike most studies of black Cubans, which focus on Afro-Cuban religion or popular culture, Queeley's penetrating investigation offers a view of strategies and modes of black belonging that transcend ideological, temporal, and spatial boundaries. …
