History & Criticism

With a workforce of over 100,000 men, women, and children, and reaching out to all corners of the Earth, London's Docklands, formerly the Port of London, at one time formed the largest and most comprehensive system of docks the world had ever known. The Museum of Dockland, an independent branch of the Museum of London, is devoted to keeping its memory alive and has produced this illustrated volume to help do just that. It examines every aspect of the port—the working river and its various docks; where the ship repairs took place; the warehousing and construction; and the quayside and the dock trades. The text is accompanied by a collection of images drawn from a library of over 25,000 photographs, helping to convey the human drama of life and work in the port of the British Empire.

Esta obra consiste en una compilación tanto de ensayos (en el sentido hispanoamericano) como de 'papers' (en la tradición anglosajona) escritos por doctorandos o jóvenes doctores de diferentes academias, zonas del mundo y nacionalidades.Los textos cubren diversas áreas de la cultura cubana, desde la literatura y la antropología hasta la música y la arquitectura. Nuestro compromiso fue conectar horizontes del diálogo dentro de los estudios cubanos, diferentes en cuanto a tradición académica, región del mundo y lengua. Queríamos un diálogo de ideas.Aunque las diversas opiniones expresadas en la presente compilación no sean necesariamente las nuestras, consideramos de forma unánime que todas integran, en su diversidad, divergencia o abierto antagonismo, lo que hoy llamamos Cuba.Justo Planas, Reynaldo Lastre, Alex Werner & Jorge Alvis
