SARMIENTO, Alicia Inés. HISTORIA DE UNA EXCLUSIÓN: Guillermo Cabrera Infante y el largo brazo de la Revolución Cubana. Rev. hist. am. argent. [online]. 2014, vol.49, n.2, pp.00-00. ISSN 2314-1549 .

This study tries to demonstrate that the reasons for having the work of the prize winning Cuban writer Guillermo Cabrera Infante excluded from the Latin American Literary canon were purely ideological, as evidenced by the small number of critical works on his writings. To such effect, the political and cultural context under Castro regime and its influence on the Latin American narrative Boom was reconstructed on the basis of historiography sources, reports by witnesses and mainly the author’s essays gathered in his 1992 book "Mea Cuba". In fact, the repression of the communist regime prevailing in the island brought about not only the writer’s exile but also his persecution outside Cuba as well as the withdrawal of the academic criticism close to such ideology.

Palabras clave : Guillermo Cabrera Infante; Mea Cuba; Cuban Revolution; Cultural ideological repression.
