Abstract

"Colonial Reckoning: Race and Revolution in Nineteenth-Century Cuba" by Louis A. Pérez Jr. delves into the complexities of Cuban Independence, shedding light on the perspectives of those who fought on the Spanish and U.S. sides, including Black Cubans. Pérez explores the intertwining themes of race, emancipation, and colonial control, emphasizing the role of Cuban sugar in shaping the conflict. The book reframes the independence struggle as a civil war, highlighting the often overlooked guerillas who fought for Spain and their impact on the course of the conflict.
