Originally published during the author's exile in New York, the work links the development of Cuba with the global context for the first time. This first volume begins with a detailed geographical description of the island, its topography, climate, and production, laying the groundwork for a profound and original analysis that rescued events forgotten by his predecessors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePedro José Guiteras presents a history of Cuba that transcends the mere narration of external events. The author focuses on those facts that his predecessors considered unfruitful or insignificant, but which he considers essential for understanding the true evolution of the Cuban people. Following a vision similar to that of Oswald Spengler, Guiteras focuses on \"ahistorical\" processes or those lacking apparent historicity, integrating them into a narrative that intimately connects the evolution of Cuba with world historical movements. This first volume lays the foundations with a geographical, topographical, and climatic description of the island, setting the natural stage upon which the historical narrative will unfold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e19th-century Cuban historiography and its methodological evolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of \"ahistorical\" facts as the basis of national identity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eConnection of Cuba's historical development with the global context.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGeography, topography, and climate of the island of Cuba as historical factors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExile and Cuban intellectual production in the 19th century.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for historians, students of Latin American and Caribbean history, as well as readers interested in 19th-century historiographical currents.
