The Cuban author Nicolás Guillén has commonly been thought of a poet of mestizaje, a time period that, when denoting racial mix, additionally refers to a homogenizing nationalist discourse that publicizes the harmonious nature of Cuban identification. but, many features of Guillén’s paintings increase black Cuban and Afro-Cuban identities. Miguel Arnedo-Gómez explores this paradox in Guillén’s pre-Cuban Revolution writings putting them along contemporaneous highbrow discourses that feigned adherence to the homogenizing ideology while upholding black pursuits. at the foundation of hyperlinks with those and different Thirties Cuban discourses, Arnedo-Gómez exhibits Guillén’s paintings to include a message of black harmony aimed toward the black center sessions. additionally, opposed to a bent to hunt a unmarried authorial consciousness—be it mulatto or according to a North American building of blackness—Guillén’s prose and poetry also are characterised as a fight for a manageable identification in a socio-culturally heterogeneous society.
