From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
| “ | This republic is not a creature of Cubans - it was neither fashioned by them nor by them influenced - but on the contrary it is of all American manufacture. Americans built it. Americans set it up again when it fell flat. American influence is all that sustains it to this moment. If they discover anything to criticise in it, or its failure, let Americans remember in so criticising that they are dealing with the work of their own hands. | ” |
Writer Irene Aloha Wright in 1910, eight years after Cuban independence.
