Vigía and the Cuban Nation
Vigía and the Cuban Nation
Ediciones Vigía emerged at a crucial juncture in the history of revolutionary Cuba: five years after the exodus of Mariel Boatlift in 1980 and six years before the onset of the Special Period in 1991. This chapter illuminates Vigía’s embodiment of the Cuban nation midway into its revolutionary cultural process by highlighting its position between extremes. Matanzas, isolated from the official and elite cultures in Havana, had a press that embraced the city’s history of artistic creativity, as well as its tradition of rebellion to create a heterogeneous and transcultural vision of Cuba.
