Description
This biography offers a unique perspective on 19th-century Cuba, as told by Esteban Montejo, a former slave and soldier in the Cuban wars of independence. Written with ethnographer Miguel Barnet, this account provides an intimate look at life in sugar plantations and mills, as well as key historical moments such as slavery, abolition, and US intervention.
The book features the complete text in Spanish, notes in English, a timeline of Cuban history, and themes for debate and discussion. An introduction provides context on Cuban history, the genre of testimonial narrative, and its relationship to the Cuban Revolution.
