Summary/Abstract: This text studies the Cuban republican tradition, very little analysed by the academy of the country. It investigates how republican ideas were appropriated and recreated in the context of the War of Independence, and in what ways and with what symbols Cuban actors developed their own ideas about this political development. The text focuses on the analysis of iconography, a body of sources that is also poorly attended. It identifies ambiguities and tensions that influenced the independence process to suggest how republican notions “from below” were produced in Cuba around independence, slavery and the Republic. With this, the work contributes to restoring republicanism as a central tradition in Cuban political history, not as an echo of projects from other countries butas a result of popular political production.
