dc.description.abstract | This article examines the history of an important cultural practice: history writing. It focuses on
ideologies of national unity developed by four influential Cuban intellectuals: Eduardo Sánchez de
Fuentes, Emilio Grenet, Alejo Carpentier, Fernando Ortiz. Like contemporaries in Brazil and many other
parts of the world, they looked to music to define Cuba’s national essence. Inevitably, their histories of
Cuban music focused on race, the most divisive social issue of the day. They applied theories of
environmental influence in an attempt to reconcile racial difference and national unity—and to define
the true origins and “color” of Cuba’s most valuable cultural treasure. | |
