| Sumario: | The testimonial story Biography of a Runaway Slave by Miguel Barnet is one of the pioneers of the narrative genre and has attracted attention of critics from the moment of its publication. The novel-testimony is seen by scholars as a text that allows the reader access to a "genuine" episteme, safeguarded by a witness of historical events. The main objective of this article is to demonstrate that the narrative of the maroon and former mambí Esteban Montejo opens new paths of reading and analyzing historical moments. In particular, the focus will be on his statements on the Cuban War of Independence, and for that purpose, the theory of Subaltern Studies will be used as a methodological tool. The analysis will highlight the denial of the Afro-Cuban agency in the official history of the independence in Cuba and will offer a reading of the events that recognizes the important Afro-descendant contribution. |
