By bringing 1959 into critical communication with the revolution of 1933, the book explores Cuba's trajectory from colony to republic to revolution, not as a linear inevitability (as much cultural historiography on and off the island has contended), but as a rite of collective passage punctuated by turning points in which public debate turned to almost obsessive reflection on national "identity" and national "destiny". In re-reading important works of many of Cuba's most significant intellectual and political figures, whilst also revealing little known but truly transcendental contributions to the collective narrative during both revolutionary periods, this book makes a major contribution to a more complex, nuanced and sophisticated understanding of Cuban cultural history and Cuban national identity in the twentieth century. In both periods, the book reveals heroic ardour coming up against intractable ambivalence, determined historical nihilism challenged by dogged remembrance, teleological readings of Cuba's path towards coherence and conclusion undercut by provocative re-readings of the collective rite of passage as suspended indefinitely on a margin of innervating flux, or what the book proposes as Cuba's "limen." 600 10 $a Castro, Fidel, $d 1926-2016. 600 17 $a Castro, Fidel, $d 1926-2016. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00052772 611 27 $a Revolution (Cuba : 1933) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354502 611 27 $a Revolution (Cuba : 1959) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01354503 651 0 $a Cuba $x History $y 1909-1933. 651 0 $a Cuba $x History $y 1933-1959. 651 0 $a Cuba $x History $y 1959-1990. 651 0 $a Cuba $x History $y Revolution, 1933. 651 0 $a Cuba $x History $y Revolution, 1959. 650 0 $a National characteristics, Cuban $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Cuba $x Civilization $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Revolutions $z Cuba $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a National characteristics, Cuban. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033398 651 7 $a Cuba. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205805 648 7 $a 1933-1959 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Electronic version: $a Fay, Stephen M. $t Liminality in Cuba's twentieth-century identity. $d Woodbridge : Tamesis, an imprint of Boydell & Brewer Ltd, 2019 $z 9781787445673 $w (OCoLC)1108619604 830 0 $a Coleccion Tamesis. $n Serie A, $p Monografias ; $v 384. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011640.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F49F31263D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
