The article "Azares de lo cubano. Lecturas al margen de la nación" analyzes Cuban literary works from an innovative and subjective perspective. The author questions the gender stereotypes assigned to the authors and their creations. The poetry of Luisa Pérez de Zambrana and her challenge to gender stereotypes is examined. The encounter between Antonio Maceo and Julián del Casal is also analyzed, and how they were excluded from traditional criticism due to their Afro-descendance and sexual orientation. Reflection is made on writing about race and racism in culturally distant contexts through the thoughts of Rafael Serra. The article seeks to promote a broader and more diverse understanding of Cuban literature. Rafael Serra's writings on the United States and the civil rights of Afro-descendants in Cuba are also examined, as well as the last days of José Martí and his reflection on national identity. The epilogue invites questioning the limits of the literary canon and being open to differences and contradictions. [Extracted from the article]
