Summary "Cuba, Old and New" by Albert G. Robinson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book reflects on Cuba's past, exploring its discovery by Christopher Columbus, the evolution of its society and economy, and the key events that shaped the island's identity, notably from the era of colonization to the early 1900s. At the start of the book, Robinson delves into the arrival of Columbus in Cuba, painting a vivid picture of the island's allure and the initial encounters between the Spanish and the native inhabitants. He recounts Columbus's descriptions of Cuba's beauty and wealth, alongside the harsh realities faced by indigenous people, encapsulating the tension between exploration and colonization. The beginning establishes not only the fascination with Cuba's landscape but also foreshadows the complexities of its history, marked by conquest, cultural interchange, and eventual struggles for independence.
