Bücher von Alejandra Bronfman

In this media history of the Caribbean, Alejandra Bronfman traces how technology, culture, and politics developed in a region that was "wired" earlier and more widely than many other parts of the Americas. Attending to everyday life, infrastructure, and sounded histories, Bronfman does not allow the notion of empire to stand solely for domination.

After Cuba's independence, nationalists aimed to transcend racial categories in order to create a unified polity. But racial and cultural heterogeneity posed continual challenges to these liberal notions of citizenship. Alejandra Bronfman traces the formation of Cuba's multiracial legal and political order in the early Republic.
