Revolutionizing romance : interracial couples in contemporary Cuba / Nadine T. Fernandez. - New Brunswick, N.J. : Rutgers University Press, ©2010. - 1 online resource (x, 217 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Interracial couples from colony to revolution -- Socialist equality and the color-blind revolution -- Mapping interracial couples: race and space in Havana -- The everyday presence of race -- Blackness, Whiteness, class, and the emergent economy -- Interracial couples and racism at home.
Scholars have long heralded mestizaje, or race mixing, as the essence of the Cuban nation. Revolutionizing Romance is an account of the continuing significance of race in Cuba as it is experienced in interracial relationships. This ethnography tracks young couples as they move in a world fraught with shifting connections of class, race, and culture that are reflected in space, racialized language, and media representations of blackness, whiteness, and mixedness. Nadine T. Fernandez offers a rare insider's view of the country's transformations during the post-Soviet era.
