Abstract

Lourdes Casal es bastante conocida en el campo de las letras cubanas como una poeta excepcional. En el marco de las relaciones internacionales su nombre también es relevante por su consabida participación tendiendo puentes entre la Cuba revolucionaria y las comunidades de cubanos y cubanas en los Estados Unidos. La creación de la revista Areito y de la Brigada Antonio Maceo son ejemplos contundentes de su labor. Sin embargo, es mucho menos conocida su labor como investigadora social y fundadora de los Estudios Cubanos en los Estados Unidos. De esa labor sobresale el entendimiento de una Cuba diversa cuando mucha gente no lo vio. Este articulo pretende posicionar, una vez más, que detrás de esa comprensión hubo una marcada perspectiva interseccional.

Lourdes Casal is well known in the field of Cuban literature as an exceptional poet. In the framework of international relations, his name is also relevant for his well-known participation in building bridges between revolutionary Cuba and the Cuban communities in the United States. The creation of Areito magazine and the Antonio Maceo Brigade are compelling examples of their work. However, her work as a social researcher and founder of Cuban Studies in the United States is much less known. What stands out from this work is the understanding of a diverse Cuba when many people did not see it. This article aims to position, once again, that behind this understanding there was a marked intersectional perspective.
