(Written in Spanish) Why black tales of Cuba "Passionate about the imaginary universe of the different African cultures in Cuba, Lydia Cabrera began publishing an extensive research work in Paris. Contes Négres de Cuba (1936), translated by Francis de Miomandre, embraced the powerful current that African cultures had awakened in Europe at the hands of Leo Frobenius, Blaise Cendrars and Paul Morand, among others. Initially conceived as a series of stories to alleviate the illness of her friend Teresa de la Parra, the book immediately attracted critical attention. Returning to Cuba in 1939, Lydia Cabrera would continue, with the rigor of an ethnographer, the study and compilation of Afro-Cuban legends and myths. For María Zambrano, the work of Lydia Cabrera “is the world of the slave race up to the threshold of our days that she liberates."
