Even for a Cuban like me, who have conducted research into the influence of the different African cultures on the Cuban psyche, your in-depth explanation leaves no stone unturned. Just to add to your wonderful expose: Guillen expanded on our motif of Cuban as the main identity marker, a very distinctive trait that can be found not only in the biggest island of the Antilles, but also across Central and South America. Many thanks for this gem of a post. Greetings from London. This is probably one of the most profound analyses I have ever come across in my life.
