| Zusammenfassung: | Any exploration of Fidel Castro racist views toward negro/as, or lack thereof, remains problematic if Cuban history is ignored; specifically, how negra/o identity was constructed differently than U.S. Black identity. As long as we keep the focus on the individual Fidel, we ignore the continuous structural racism faced by Cuban negra/os. Fidel, like most White Cubans, was influenced and shaped by how negro/as been historically seen, and by how bodies with darker hues continue to be constructed by the Revolution. Fidel, along with White Cubans, are part of a habitus which has taught us how to see, how to gaze upon negro/as. The question with which we should wrestle is how aware we Cubans who possess light-skin pigmentation are about our complicity with racist structures in Cuba? How has Cuban history and the construction of negro/a identity continued to manifest itself during the Fidel years. |
