The Light Inside: Abakua Society Arts and Cuban Cultural History
|
|
|
Washington D.C:: Smithsonian Inst Pr. As New/As New. 2003. Cloth. 8vo 1588341232 Illustrated with black and white and color photos and reproductions, this volume describes the Abakuá Society, a secret Afro-Cuban system of men's fraternal lodges developed by African slaves and, later, Creoles in urban Cuba. David Brown examines Abakuá altars, chalk-drawn signs, and full-body masquerades worn in ceremonies. He describes how Abakuá arts contributed to Cuban culture, and how the Abakuá Society initially became a force in port cities, controlling local justice and labor on the wharves, until the practice was criminalized. By the 1930s, however, Abakuá arts became a prime source for avant-garde primitivism and surrealism, and have become icons of national folklore since the Cuban Revolution. . more information

|

Old Tappan, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Free Pr. NEW/NEW. 2004. Hard Cover. 8vo 0743246225 multiple copies NEW COPY, from the publisher "In power for more than 45 years, Fidel Castro may be in firm control of Cuba but not even he has been able to control the dreams of his people?dreams that are the basis of what may become a post-Castro Cuba. In order to try and understand the future of our neighbor, veteran reporter Eugene Robinson went to look?or rather to listen?to a country on the verge of revolution, using Cuba's musicians as a window into its present and future. Far more than the Buena Vista Social Club, Cuban music is a stew of African and European elements, and Robinson here introduces the musical people who bring him into their home and backstage discussions: rap stars who defy the government in their lyrics; violinists and pianists who attend the world's last Soviet-style conservatory; and international pop stars who could make millions of dollars abroad, yet choose to stay in their home and work for peanuts." 272 pgs. . more information
