| Sumario: | The objective of this article is to analyse the racial configuration acquired by the process of colonial modernization experienced by Cuban society in the fin-de-siecle period between 1878 and 1898, taking into account the effects of the reforms to the colonial administration system and of the white immigration projects implemented after the end of the first war of independence in 1878. Through a historiographical reconstruction and the analysis of bibliographic and documentary collections, we will examine, on the one hand, the adoption of white Hispanic-Canarian immigration projects as an element of economic development and territorial settlement and, on the other hand, the debates on race and "ethnic crossbreeding" in the scientific-health discourse of Cuban scientific associations. |
