Los primeros escritores de la República y la denuncia antinjerencista en su literatura (1899-1925). (Spanish)

CUBA; WEST Indies

With its intervention in the Spanish-Cuban-North American War, the United States began to create economic, political and social conditions to extend its domination over Cuba. Based on a group of political and economic mechanisms, the different Washington administrations established and consolidated their control over the largest of the Antilles. The Platt Amendment, in 1901, was followed by a series of treaties, most of them harmful to national sovereignty, as well as a policy of constant interference in the affairs of the Island. At the same time, the United States developed a fierce process of economic penetration until it almost completely covers the Cuban economy, controlling its fundamental productive lines. This process did not go unnoticed by the Cuban people who, through various demonstrations, opposed Yankee interference and the theft of the country's main economic resources. The most illustrious writers of the early 20th century expressed in their works their particular denunciation of the North American financial avalanche and its political interference, as well as the general perception that Cuban society had of these two phenomena.

Con su intervención en la Guerra Hispano-Cubana-Norteamericana, los Estados Unidos comenzaron a crear condiciones económicas, políticas y sociales para extender su dominación sobre Cuba. A partir de un grupo de mecanismos políticos y económicos, las diferentes administraciones de Washington establecieron y consolidaron su control sobre la mayor de las Antillas. A la Enmienda Platt, en 1901, le siguieron una serie de tratados, la mayoría de ellos lesivos a la soberanía nacional, así como una política de constante injerencia en los asuntos de la Isla. A la par, los Estados Unidos desarrollaron un feroz proceso de penetración económica hasta copar casi en su totalidad la economía cubana, controlando sus renglones productivos fundamentales. Dicho proceso no pasó desapercibido al pueblo cubano que, a partir de diversas manifestaciones, se opuso al injerencismo yanqui y al hurto de los principales recursos económicos del país. Los más ilustres escritores de inicios del siglo xx, dejaron plasmadas en sus obras su denuncia particular ante la avalancha financiera norteamericana y sus intromisiones políticas, así como la percepción general que, sobre estos dos fenómenos, tenía la sociedad cubana.
