| Abstract | |
This research aims to analyze how news regarding political turmoil in Iberian America reached Cuba after 1810, when Napoleons invasion of Spain led to a vacuum power and the beginning of several events that would transform the relationship between the metropole and colonies within the Spanish empire. It seeks to understand Cuban loyalty to Spain and the consequent maintanence of colonialism on the island in a context of intense transformation and political reorganization in the Western world focusing in the Iberian world -, a path that clashes with the insurgencies and independence wars that took place in Spanish America. I analyse the periodical press published in Cuba during those years in order to identify the way such events were sensed and reported in Cuba. The particularity of slavery in Cuba form the prism through which to understand the political future on the insland in light of the such events. (AU) | |
