Cuba en Estados Unidos: asimilación, transculturación y resistencia
Major General Carlos Roloff Mialofsky: A Polish Mambí in the USA
With the exception of Dominican Generalissimo Máximo Gómez, no other foreign-born hero of Cuba’s War for Independence is so admired and beloved by Cubans as Major General Carlos Roloff Mialofsky, “The Polish Mambí.”This article examines Roloff ’s activities in the United States, organizing Cuban expatriates prior to and during the War of Independence (1895-1898). Emphasis is placed on Roloff ’s penchant for organization, his leadership, and his mastery of deceit in coordinating expeditions in the United States right under the noses of American authorities and Spanish agents. “The Polish Mambí’s” efforts in the United States were major factors in securing Cuba’s freedom.
