This chapter provides a cultural history of Catalanism in Cuba through the reconstruction of the political and cultural activism led by Josep Conangla from the Centre Catala of Havana. The analyses focus on how Conangla’s political and literary texts reveal his personal process of transculturation, which mediated the evolution of the Catalanist group of Havana toward Americanist positionings. Josep Conangla’s intellectual journey, from his first years in Cuba as a soldier of the Spanish government in the war of independence of 1895, until his death in 1965 at the age of 90, in Havana, is characterized by a fruitful process of transformation that is evident in his writings and that enabled him to occupy relevant positions within both the Cuban and the Catalan cultural systems. |
