	Lydia Cabrera (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Cabrera stayed in Paris until 1938 at which time she took a greater interest in culture and religion and moved back to Cuba.
		Cabrera dedicated much of her life to studying and understanding Afro-Cuban culture and religion and "She created the Negro's identity and his incorporation into the Cuban national culture as an important and integral part of it” (University of Waterloo).
		Upon Lydia Cabrera's death in September 1999, all of her research was given to the Otto G. Richter Library and is currently being held at the Cuban Heritage Museum at the University of Miami (University of Miami).

	Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal - V3I1 - Cahill, Afro-Cuban Tales
		Cabrera was able to communicate the syncretic influences at work in the Cuban cultural landscape thanks to her informants: the Afro-Cuban servants in her family’s home who were also priests and priestesses of the Ocha rite.
		Cabrera does not embrace a return to Africa as Césaire does, and subsequently the focus of her short stories demonstrates itself to be thematically and culturally more evolved.
		Cabrera’s approach, like other Caribbean writers, deciphers the culture that originated in Africa from the culture that evolved to become the Cuban folklore; however, there is an emphasis on examining its development in new lands while it was still subject to European influences and the imposed limits of slavery.

	African American Registry: A written voice of Afro-Cuba, Lydia Cabrera.
		Cabrera was a woman of deep cultural background and humility.
		For example, Cabrera used the popular motif of a magical object (a saucepan, a salt shaker, a tablecloth) that provides endlessly for its owner, but she re-created it using as characters people from Colonial Cuba, such as clever slaves, their white owners, and European and local slave merchants.
		Cabrera devoted her life to the study of Africans in Cuba and their influence on the development of Cuban folklore, a development that was also influenced by the Spanish culture that had been brought to the island during the Conquest.

		Lydia Cabrera was able, not only to probe the African secrets of Cuba, but also to organize them in such a way that today her accounts constitute the main resource of the Afro-Cuban cultural tradition.
		In my second book, Lydia Cabrera's cosmos is fully explored, that is to say, the world of the characters that inhabit her stories: gods, animals, humans, objects, spirits, without forgetting the communal centre of all these elements: the ancestral, sacred Forest.
		Lydia Cabrera was the perfect writer, as explained by the fitting words of her friend, the Cuban poet Gastón Baquero, "an unpretentious author, always working behind the scenes".

	La Habana Elegante - Bustos y Rimas
		Cabrera es la menor de ocho hermanos, por lo que siempre se le consiente, sin olvidar que es una niña muy enfermiza, lo que contribuye a que todos en la familia la mimen en extremo.
		Lydia Cabrera continúa adelante con su constante quehacer de investigadora; para ella lo importante es desentrañar "la huella profunda y viva que dejaron en esta isla -Cuba-, los conceptos mágicos y religiosos, las creencias y prácticas de los negros importados de Africa durante varios siglos de trata ininterrumpida" (Hiriart 25).
		Lydia Cabrera vive sus últimos años, desde la muerte de María Teresa de Rojas en 1987, en la casa miameña de su fiel amiga Isabel Castellanos.

	Tres ensayos en Las Cruces
		Lydia Cabrera hace una clara advertencia sobre el funesto resultado que el caudillismo puede traer a la isla y se apoya en el personaje del toro para llegar al lector de Cuba.
		Lydia Cabrera ha tratado de descifrar este laberíntico cosmos de lo cubano y nos lo ha dejado escrito en su vastísima obra, tanto cuentística como antropológica, cuya rica temática invita al lector a profundizar en esta problemática étnica.
		Lydia Cabrera nos advierte de una calamidad que se avecina y es irreversible si Dolé acepta a Capinche: "El compadre que incurre en falta con su compadre —Corpus Christi de por medio— sucumbe entre calamidades sin cuento.

	Creating Ethnography: Zora Neale Hurston and Lydia Cabrera African American Review - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Both women worked from multiple planes of identification: it is a challenge to pinpoint their professional roles as "native" and feminist ethnographers within the scholarly ethnographic tradition in which they were both trained and, in Hurston's case, professionally sidelined.
		Lydia Cabrera, born in Cuba in 1900, was the eighth and youngest child of a prominent white Havana family.
		Raimundo Cabrera agreed to his daughter's study abroad with a compromise: the entire family would move to Paris for five years so that Lydia could pursue her studies.

	Lydia Cabrera
		Durante su niñez, Cabrera, la menor de ocho hermanos, no asiste a la escuela casi nunca debido a su naturaleza enfermiza, sino que más bien estudia principalmente con tutores en su propia casa, lo que contribuye a que su aprendizaje sea muy libre.
		Lydia Cabrera hace su bachillerato en su casa, por la libre, y luego toma cursos de postgrado sólo por entretenerse; sobre esto ella misma dice: lo hacía sin el afán de doctorarme, nada más porque me entretenía, porque hallaba placer en los libros.
		Lydia Cabrera regresa a Cuba en 1938 por la inminencia de la Segunda Guerra con el propósito de comenzar sus investigaciones sobre la cultura y religiones negras.

	EIAL XVI_1 - Estudios Interdisciplinarios de America Latina y el Caribe
		Eschewing aspirations to objectivity and assertions of truth based on an authoritative scientific voice, Cabrera instead blurred the boundaries between herself and her subjects, inserted long passages of direct quotes by her informants, and refused clear distinctions between fiction, folklore, history, and myth.
		This is a persuasive claim with respect to the texts themselves, insofar as Cabrera does not hide her sources or her methods, and thus causes those she studies to be important if not equal participants in the production of knowledge.
		Cabrera's trajectory from member of Cuba's nationalist intellectual elite to life in exile after the revolution of 1959 receives some attention, as does her relationship to her famous brother-in-law, Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz.

	Emily Maguire
		Both Cabrera and Guillén are interested in Afro-Caribbean identity, and in the nature of Afro-Caribbean cultural experience, but radical nature of their work lies in the ways in which they suggest that Afro-Cuban expression is central to Cuban identity as a whole.
		Cabrera’s story "Walo-Wila", which first appeared in Spanish in the Havana magazine Grafos in 1938, two years before the publication of the Spanish version of Cuentos negros, exemplifies the ways in which Cabrera plays with the development of the folktale even as she highlights traditional storytelling conventions.
		The description Cabrera gives of the new island on whose shores Venado and Hicotea land resembles nineteenth-century Cuba, and the two friends are quick to understand the new system of ownership in which "la tierra no era del que la tomaba y se decía su dueño, sino de quien la compraba" (47).

		The UNC Press, Lydia Cabrera and the Construction of an Afro-Cuban Cultural Identity by Edna M. Rodríguez-Mangual
		Lydia Cabrera (1900-1991), an upper-class white Cuban intellectual, spent many years traveling through Cuba collecting oral histories, stories, and music from Cubans of African descent.
		Her work is commonly viewed as an extension of the work of her famous brother-in-law, Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz, who initiated the study of Afro-Cubans and the concept of transculturation.

		Infante's favorite is clearly Virgilio Pi?era, whose work he predicts "will live, twist and giggle forever." He also introduces us to Lydia Cabrera, whom he calls Cuba's greatest woman writer.
		Expatriate Cuban novelist Cabrera Infante (Infante's Inferno, 1984, etc.), a London resident since his 1965 defection, offers an omnibus collection of occasional pieces on topics ranging from the revolutionary painting of Jacques-Louis David to the fantastic possibilities of a world without Columbus.
		Cabrera Infante's picture of the decadent Batista regime is revealing, and he shares intriguing close-up vignettes of Castro's imperious ways.

		This study presents key aspects of Lydia Cabrera's (Cuba, 1900-1991) Cuentos negros (1936).
		Lydia Cabrera's technique of interviewing and interacting with her informants, in large part attributed to the style and influence of her famous brother-in-law, Fernando Ortiz, serves as a model of creation that would mark her later productions.

		Im Gegenteil, Lydia Cabrera, die seit 1927 in Paris lebte, wo sie Malerei studierte und mit Strawinsky, Milhaud, Cocteau und Picasso verkehrte, rief mit ihren Geschichten die Begeisterung ihrer Freunde hervor, und so erschienen sie bezeichnenderweise 1936 zuerst auf französisch.

		Fifty years ago, Cabrera was engaged in a decade-long study of the oral histories and legends of Cubans of African descent, eventually publishing her findings as El Monte in 1954.
		As Pérez Bravo puts it, "Lydia Cabrera’s books are like Bibles to me. I’m really a devotee of her literature and thoughts." Cabrera’s research remains a great resource for understanding Afro-Cuban culture.
		But perhaps as important for artists was her methodology: By attributing validity to personal accounts and oral histories as cultural records, Cabrera encouraged the next generation of artists and writers to value the subjective voice.
