the work sets the stage for a historical examination of the racial conflict, beginning with the authors' intent to portray events as they unfolded during the 1912 uprising. They introduce the fundamental issue of race relations in Cuba by noting the deep-seated animosity between black and white Cubans, framing the conflict as an inevitable outcome of historical oppression. The authors argue that previous efforts of coexistence have failed, and suggest that the upheaval is simply a continuation of a long-standing battle between the two races in Cuba. The narrative promises to explore the truth behind this conflict, presenting facts and observations rather than embellishing them into a literary commentary.
