Socialismo com rum, rumba e candomblé: a identidade da América Latina como alicerce da Revolução Cubana

Abstract

This academic paper aims to analyze the impacts of Latin American identity on the construction of the Cuban Revolution. Formed through centuries of exploitation derived from colonialism, imperialism and global capitalist dynamics, the identity of the peoples of Latin America brings together characteristics of resistance, fight for autonomy and search for development. This study analyzes the historical phases, anthropological formations, geographical conditions and social, political and economic constructions of Cuba and the Latin American region, in order to elucidate the reasons that led to the Revolution of 59. In addition, look at the impacts of Latin American identity on the construction of nationalist and progressive movements in other countries in the region, as well as the influence of the Cuban experience in this process, and the interventionist participation of the United States to prevent the advancement of these ideals.
