Cuban culture has long been available to English speakers via translation. This study examines the complex ways in which English renderings of Cuban texts from various domainspoetry, science fiction, political and military writing, music, filmhave represented, reshaped, or amended original texts. Taking in a broad corpus, it becomes clear that the mental image an Anglophone audience has formed of Cuban culture since 1959 depends heavily on the decisions of translators. At times, a clear ideological agenda drives moves like strengthening the denunciatory tone of a song or excising passages from a political text. At other moments, translators indifference to the importance of certain facets of a work, such as a films onscreen text or the lyrics sung on a musical performance, impoverishes the English speakers experience of the rich weave of self-expression in the original Spanish. In addition to the dynamics at work in the choices translators make at the level of the text itself, this study attends to how paratexts like prefaces, footnotes, liner notes, and promotional copy shape the audiences experience of the text.
