A dual language edition of Alejandro Tapia y Rivera's masterpiece: set in Havana in the mid-19th century, the drama presents the obstacles to a mixed-race relationship between a son of the nobility and a woman of African ancestry.

Delgado-Figueroa, author of "Our Father Takes and Bride" and "Lamentos Boricanos," former professor of Spanish literature and linguistics at the universities of Minnesota, Puerto Rico and South Carolina, as well as a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute. This edition includes Spanish-language biographical notes, a select bibliography and an essay by Dr. Delgado-Figueroa on racism in literature, popular culture and communication media in Cuba and Puerto Rico from the sixteenth century to the present.
