        Der Cimarrón

        Die Lebensgeschichte eines entflohenen Sklaven aus Cuba, von ihm selbst erzählt

        by Miguel Barnet, Miguel Barnet, Hildegard Baumgart, Lisa Grüneisen, Heinz Rudolf Sonntag, Alfredo Chacón, Miguel Barnet

        Miguel Barnet und eine Gruppe von Ethnologen besuchten den hundertdreijährigen Esteban Montejo. Sie begegneten einem hochintelligenten, eigensinnigen Mann voller Erinnerungen an längst Vergessenes, Erinnerungen aus dem Leben der Sklaven, aus der Zeit der Abschaffung der Sklaverei auf Cuba und des Befreiungskrieges gegen die spanischen Kolonialisten. Montejo ist ein Cimarrón, ein entlaufener Sklave, der lange Jahre in absoluter Einsamkeit in den Bergen gelebt hat. Später schloß er sich den Aufständischen an, die gegen die Invasion Cubas durch die Amerikaner kämpften. Der Cimarrón entstand nach Tonbandaufnahmen von Gesprächen, die Miguel Barnet über Wochen und Monate mit Esteban Montejo geführt hat. Das überraschendste daran ist die bilderreiche Sprache dieses ehemaligen Sklaven. Von unseren Augen vollzieht sich die lebendige Vermischung von afrikanischen Mythen mit dem Katholizismus zu einer der afro-cubanischen Religionen, wie sie Barnet in seinem Buch Cultos afro-cubanos beschreibt. Esteban Montejo schildert alles von seinem persönlichen Standpunkt aus: das Leben als Sklave auf der Zuckerrohrplantage, das Leben in den Bergen, den Krieg, die Zeit, als die Spanier wohl vertrieben, aber durch die Nordamerikaner ersetzt waren. »Dieses Buch«, schrieb Lévi-Strauss, »eröffnet eine völlig neue Gattung der ethnologischen Literatur. Ihr Kennzeichen: eine Vertrautheit mit der Wirklichkeit der untersuchten Ethnie, die weit über alles früher Versuchte hinausgeht«. Die Lebensgeschichte von Esteban Montejo wurde 1971 unter dem Titel El Cimarrón von Hans Werner Henze vertont.

        Biografía de un cimarrón

        By Miguel Barnet and Esteban Montejo

        by Catherine Davies, William Rowlandson

        This Biography of a runaway slave is arguably the best-known book to have been written and published in revolutionary Cuba, being the testimonial narrative of Esteban Montejo, a former slave, runaway, and soldier in the Cuban wars of independence. The text is the collaboration between ethnographer Miguel Barnet and Montejo, the result of three years of tape-recorded interviews, transcribed, edited and annotated by Barnet. Montejo provides a first-hand account of slavery in nineteenth-century Cuba - the language, religion, music, and customs - and describes life in the sugar plantations and mills and as a runaway slave. Montejo's text also covers key historical moments, from slavery to Abolition, the Ten Years War, the Spanish American War, and US intervention in the new republic. Reflecting the growing interest in Latin American and Cuban Studies, this student edition includes the complete text in Spanish, notes in English, a time-line of Cuban history and themes for debate and discussion. The extensive introduction focuses on three main areas: an overview of Cuban history featuring slavery, wars of independence and the new republic; an overview of the genre of the testimonial narrative as it emerged as an important literary style in revolutionary Cuba; and an analysis of the relationship between the Cuban Revolution and the publication of the text. There is also an extensive bibliography. ;
