A Spanish translation of Moore's excellent {Nationalizing Blackness: Afrocubanismo and Artistic Revolution in Havana, 1920-1940} (see {HLAS 58:4808}). He illustrates how African and African-derived culture in Cuba is viewed both as a "primitive" expression of Cuban culture and also as a source of pride. He examines the history of blackface theater in Cuba, carnival in Havana, the popular song and dance music of the 1930s, and the rumba craze, among other themes. He appropriately notes the popularity of "la revue negre" and the contributions of Josephine Baker in introducing African-American music to sophisticated audiences, particularly in France. The volume was awarded the 1998 Gustave O. Arlt Award in the Arts for outstanding scholarly significance awarded by the Council of Graduate Schools. Subsequently, he has authored {Music and Revolution: Cultural Change in Socialist Cuba}, (2006).
