Description
Political protest has been prominent in Cuban poetry
since the nineteenth- century, and pro- American Cuban
poets have always been rare. There seem to be two main
developments of the image of the American. Prior to
1959, there was intense nationalism as a reaction to
American imperialism. Later, the negative image of
American capitalism was formed, in part, by Marxist
ideology. In poetry published after 1959 the image of
the American recurs on three levels: military, cultural,
and social. The image of the American as a military
invader, economic imperialist, threat to Cuban mores and
cultural values, and racist existed before the 1959 Revolution
and continues to be an underlying theme in contemporary
Cuban poetry.
