Abstract

BARBOZA-NUNEZ, Esteban. Antonio Maceo and the cuban legacy in mansion de Nicoya, Guanacaste, in the landscape and local orality. InterSedes [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.42, pp.118-142. ISSN 2215-2458.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/isucr.v20i42.41846.

Through in-depth interviews, this article explores the legacy of Antonio Maceo and the Cuban colony at Mansion de Nicoya, Guanacaste, through the perception of the reminiscences of the mid-twentieth century landscape in the memory of five interviewees. The article uses the concept of landscape as a way of seeing and perceiving the environment, as well as a social hieroglyph, through which it is possible to denote and analyze social and economic relations in a specific place. In the analysis of the interviews, three derivations are determined by means of the analysis of the idea of landscape in the interviewees. The first one is the presence of the legacy of the figure of Maceo and the Cuban colony as a source of communal identity, the second one deals with Mansion as one of the hubs in Guanacaste in the mid-twentieth century, and finally, Mansion as a center of rich agricultural production for the local and national markets.
