Administrative history / Biographical sketch

Note

Lydia Cabrera was born in Havana, Cuba on May 20, 1899. Her father, Raimundo Cabrera, was a lawyer.He was a member of the pro-independence intellectuals known as the “generation of 1868” and founder ofthe literary and political magazine Cuba y America. Lydia, an avid reader, was taught at home. She wasstrongly influenced by her father’s nationalist feelings and cultural background, her sister Emma’s love ofart, and her nannies’ African and Afro Cuban stories, language and traditions.Lydia completed her secondary school without ever attending classes and started auditing college courses.Although she published her first articles in the Diario de la Marina at age eighteen, her first love waspainting, and she attended the San Alejandro Academy of Arts for a brief period.In 1927, Cabrera moved to Paris to study painting and remained in France for eleven years. Graduatingfrom L'Ecole du Louvre in 1930, she subsequently studied with Russian exile artist Alexandra Exter.During this time, Lydia began to study Asian cultures and religions, and her research in this area lead to arenewed interest in Afro Cuban culture. Later in her life, Cabrera stated that she “discovered Cuba in thebanks of the Seine”.During short trips to her native country while living in Paris, Cabrera began to make preliminary contactswith the future informants of her ethnology research. Back in Paris, she wrote her first Cuentos Negros.The stories were read at literary gatherings and later published in several reviews such as Cahiers duSud, Revue de Paris, and Les Nouvelles Littéraires. A French translation by literary critic Francis deMiomandre was published by Gallimard in 1936 as a collection entitled Contes Nègres de Cuba.Cabrera returned to Cuba in 1938 with the purpose of doing research on the subject of folklore, consciousof the need to preserve this vital element of Cuban culture for posterity. The first Spanish edition ofCuentos negros de Cubawas published in1940 in Havana; a second work of fiction, ¿Por Qué? CuentosNegros de Cuba, Colección del Chicherekú, was published in 1948.Cabrera distinguished her work by writing with a new voice and style and positioned herself at theforefront by conducting field research, which required her to spend years gaining the trust of herinformants. She traveled within the island conducting interviews, collecting oral histories, recording



stories and music, documenting rituals and practices, and cataloging “Africanisms” of Cuban Spanish.The result was El Monte (The Forest or The Wilderness), published in 1954, a formative work on AfroCuban religions and liturgy.Cabrera left Cuba as an exile in 1960 and she did not produce any writing for ten years. In 1970, Cabrerapublished Otán Iyebiyé, Las Piedras Preciosasand in 1971 the third volume of “cuentos negros” Ayapá:Cuentos de Jicotea, followed by other publications. She published one of her most well known works,Anaforuana, about the secret Abakuá society, in 1975. Her writings in exile are considered by somecritics to be among her best because of the intellectual and emotional maturity she had achieved. Shehad become internationally recognized and honored for her contributions to literature, ethnology andanthropology.She died in Miami on September 19th, 1991. During her long and prolific career Cabrera produced whatis considered the most complete and important body of research on Afro Caribbean religions and folklore.She was one of the first to recognize the richness of African culture and its vital contributions to Cubanidentity. Her work remains a leading authority of Afro Cuban culture.
