In this presentation, Dr. Ada Ferrer will talk about the centuries-long ties between Cuba and the United States of America, many of which are surprising and sometimes troubling. While the US influenced Cuba, the island also influenced US affairs. This presentation will give students and faculty unexpected insights into Cuban and US history, and, in so doing, help them imagine a new relationship with Cuba, something Dr. Ferrer has striven for all her life, having been born in Cuba and raised in New York City.
Dr. Ada Ferrer is Julius Silver Professor of History and Latin American and Caribbean History at New York University. Her research has won numerous awards over the years. In addition to articles and book chapters, Dr. Ferrer has published three books: Insurgent Cuba: Race, Freedom, and Revolution, 1868-1898 and Freedom’s Mirror: Cuba and Haiti in the Age of Revolution, plus her latest, Cuba: An American History.

¿TAINOS EN CUBA? Hay una sobrevaloración de la presencia de tainos en Cuba. La Causa es la dinámica del de la ocupación hispana de los territorios americanos. Si bien Colon pasó por las costas cubanas varias veces desde su primer viaje, donde realmente España se relacionó con la población aborigen fue en La Española [hoy Republica Dominicana y Haití], isla que si era muy taina. Esto fue así desde 1492 hasta 1509. Cuando 17 años después del 1492 se interesaron por Cuba, ya sabían mucho sobre los tainos, incluso el español asimiló multitud de vocablos de ese origen. Pero no bien habían llegado a Cuba se descubre el Imperio Mexica de los aztecas, que deslumbra a los españoles con su riqueza y Cuba se despuebla antes de poblarse. La verdad es que los cronistas no prestan atención a los aborígenes cubanos. En Cuba había tainos, pero muy pocos y solo en el extremo oriental. La mayoría en el resto de la larguísima isla, eran siboneyes y guanajatabeyes, que, si le prestamos atención a unas pocas referencias que tenemos de ellos, su lengua ni estaba relacionada con la de los tainos quienes no entendían a esta gente. El estudio de la cultura de los aborígenes cubanos es una asignatura pendiente. De Ellos no sabemos casi nada.
