From the Bronze Titan to Fidel Castro
The Liberation of Cuba
Trace Antonio Maceo Grajales, the Bronze Titan, through Cuba’s independence struggles and into the era of Fidel Castro. Center Afro Cuban leadership and examine how abolition, independence, sovereignty, social rights, and political freedoms shaped different visions of liberation.
Students investigate Maceo’s rejection of peace without independence and abolition, cooperation with José Martí and Máximo Gómez, the Platt Amendment, Batista’s overthrow in 1959, and the literacy campaign. The readings distinguish the end of Spanish sovereignty from later revolution and compare social achievements with evidence of restrictions on dissent.
