Papers on Social Life in Cuba, 1520-1810 1.00 boxes

 
Beers, Mayra

This collection documents the research materials assembled for a scholarly study examining transformations in Cuban society and the formation of national identity in the early twentieth century through the historical figure of Alberto Yarini y Ponce de León. Materials consist of copies of contemporary newspaper accounts documenting Yarini's life, public image, and death; court and legal records related to criminal proceedings and civic governance; memoirs and personal recollections offering insight into elite social networks and urban life in Havana; and published scholarly works addressing Cuban nationalism, race, class, gender, and political development. The collection also contains interpretive research notes and annotated bibliographic materials used in the development of the thesis, which explores the emergence of Yarini as both a historical figure and a cultural myth.
