Pedro Ivonnet, Haiti, Cuba, and the 1912 Massacres of Afro-Cubans 5/12/2013
The World is Robert: "Here, we see the the caricature of him that links his
Haitian ancestry with black revolution in Haiti, "savage" Vodou and Santeria
practices, Haitian military style, sandals (reminisicent of the ambiguous
general haitiano from a Dominican newspaper in 1845), and mocks the desires of
Afro-Cubans for political equality by linking their demands to that of a
black-led nation, as in neighboring Haiti. The transnational Caribbean is alive
and well, with a longer history of white Cuban elites fearing another Haiti in
the 19th century during Cuba's three-phased wars of independence (and of course
one cannot deny the influence of American white supremacy, imperialism, and
practices of lynching, etc. that likely contributed to the outbreak of violence
targeting unarmed civilians)."
A cien años del vil asesinato de Pedro Ivonet Dofourt 7/17/2012 Sierra
Maestra: de Joel Mourlot - "Los capitanes Aranda, sus captores, lo condujeron a
la finca El Carmen (Caney), y dieron a aviso al Cuartel Moncada, desde donde,
con órdenes evidentes de asesinar a Ivonet, enviaron al capitán Arsenio Ortiz,
quien quiso adueñarse del prisionero y de su ayudante, Francisco Céspedes, y a
lo que se opusieron los citados Aranda, quienes exigieron una orden escrita del
mando superior; algo que obtuvo rápidamente el teniente Ortiz, quien -ya dueño
de los dos prisioneros- los asesinó a ambos, a la altura de El Rodeo, cerca de
El Caney, el 18 de julio de 1912."
