“…He came from a family of Afro-Cuban activists that included Josefa Dorticós. See Hoffnung-Garskof (2019). 5 To track these debates, which were mostly circumscribed within Cuba's elite intellectual and art circles, I follow the main state journal on culture, Revista Cubana, and the Afro-Cuban press: Nuevos Rumbos (1945)(1946)(1947)(1948)(1949), Amanecer (1952Amanecer ( -1954, and Atenas (1951)(1952)(1953)(1954), among other primary sources.…”

This article explores the impact of Afrocubanismo on the development of Cuba’s arts during the 1940s and 1950s. The article follows the discursive output of artists, intellectuals, and cultural policymakers of different racial backgrounds over the deployment of lo negro to construct cubanidad. It argues that, if the 1920s and 1930s experienced a movement towards the construction of a homogeneous mestizo Cuba, the following decades reveal an effort by some artists to desyncretize lo cubano. While some intellectuals constructed notions of authenticity that circumscribed black art to black artists, many white Cuban artists in turn embraced elite Hispanic heritage as their main creative language while valorizing some Afro-Cuban artists’ recreations of lo negro. The article also demonstrates that the scholarly debates about cultural appropriation in recent decades have a long history within the Afro-Cuban community. It shows how Afro-Cuban artists and intellectuals pioneered arguments about the exploitative use of lo negro to make national art and the central role of culture in shaping racial inequality.
