Dentro del género “literatura de viajes” ocupan un lugar destacado los viajes a las revoluciones políticas y sociales, como la rusa o la china. Forman parte de esa tradición los viajes a la Revolución cubana, que se iniciaron antes, incluso, del triunfo de enero de 1959. Muchos de los más connotados escritores y periodistas latinoamericanos produjeron notables crónicas de su experiencia cubana; experiencia cuyo efecto, naturalmente, se iría modificando con el paso del tiempo. Se abordan aquí las nacidas de los viajes a la Cuba del siglo xxi, lejana ya del entusiasmo de los primeros tiempos revolucionarios. Un recorrido por varias de las crónicas “cubanas” de este siglo da cuenta de las diversas percepciones que genera este singular país, tanto como de las particulares miradas de quienes lo escriben. Contar La Habana del siglo xxi es una experiencia que desborda una ciudad concreta para hablarnos, también, de un proyecto político y de la postura que se asume con respecto a él.

Within the genre "travel literature", trips to political and social revolutions, such as Russia or China, occupy a prominent place. The trips to the Cuban Revolution, which began even before the triumph of January 1959, are part of this tradition. Many of the most renowned Latin American writers and journalists produced notable chronicles of their Cuban experience; experience whose effect, naturally, would be modified with the passage of time. The ones born from the trips to the Cuba of the 21st century, already far from the enthusiasm of the first revolutionary times, are addressed here. A tour of several of the “Cuban” chronicles of this century gives an account of the diverse perceptions generated by this unique country, as well as the particular views of those who write it. Telling about the Havana of the 21st century is an experience that goes beyond a specific city to also speak to us about a political project and the position that is assumed with respect to it. |
