This article traces the contours of the complex set of public and private acts of memory that have emerged in the twenty years since the death of Cuban revolutionary Celia Sanchez Manduley (1920Ð1980). National leaders, government institutions, and individual men and women have articulated a complex, and at times contradictory, array of memories of Celia's life and contributions to the revolutionary cause. In turn, these memories have shaped a much larger national discourse concerning the relationship of the individual to the body politic, the definition of an ideal revolutionary cubanidad (Cuban nation identity), and the proper role for women within Cuban society. |
