De la esclavitud a la criminalización de un grupo: la población de color en Cuba

Abstract

In this study our objective is to demonstrate how physical and criminal anthropology was used first to establish the level of intellectual and biological development of various groups according to how closely or distantly they resembled the white man. Later, these same disciplines were used to condition and judge the behavior of individuals according to their membership in a determined ethnic group. We are interested in the social practices and the cultural values among those who maintained racial prejudice, which brings us to the attempts by the elite to control or impede what was already a fact, the integration of distinctive African elements in Cuban culture.
