0012102Havana Cuba Matanzas: Cuban Slave Trade Emancipated Slaves African Slave Deaths. Good with no dust jacket. Non-Book. On offer is a remarkable archive of four Cuban government manuscript documents related to the deaths of African slaves or emancipated slaves in Cuba between 1852 and 1885. Each of the four documents discusses the passing of a different Black man or woman who had been working in Cuba. The first document dated 1852 reports that the body of a Lucimi African slave was found drowned in the reefs. It is signed by Pedro Ferrea and is stamped by the local municipality. The second document is dated 1853 and reports on the death of Rafaela a 46-year-old slave from the Macua African nation. The note states that Rafaela has not yet received the proper sacrament. It is signed by one Rafael Torres. The third document is dated 1880 and is a longer document of three pages stamped by the cemetery indicating that a black tobacconist is being buried in the cemetery of Christopher Columbus. He was likely emancipated. It is signed in Havana by Massino Rodriguez . The final document is dated 1885 which is a year after slavery was completely abolished in Cuba meaning that this Black man was likely emancipated at the time of his death. This document reports that José de Orta of Africa 90 years old died as a poor man. It is signed by Sebastian Ferrero. Taken together this archive demonstrates multiple aspects of Cuban slavery culture. It shows change over time in how African people were referred to in government documentation between 1852 and 1885 as well as indicating how deaths of African slaves and Black men were handled over the years in Cuba. How we treat and discuss our dead in a society says a lot about how we value our people. Cuba had a great need for inexpensive labour to support their sugar industry. While America and Britain signed a treaty in 1814 to abolish the African slave trade it took many years for complete global abolition. The African slave trade was not ended in Cuba until 1886 despite it being formally abolished in 1867 Yun & Laremont 2001. During the Chinese coolie trade 1847-1874 African slaves often worked alongside Chinese indentured labourers. The documents vary slightly in size all measuring approximately 6x8 inches. All documents exhibit age toning and some have minor rips tears and folds. All Spanish language. All overall Fair to Good. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author .

1995C1612Original carbon quarto 11 1/2" x 8 1/4" score sheet printed on official stationery of the event in Rafael Vaganian's hand. Signed by both Rafael Vaganian and Vladimir Kramnik played in round nine April 21 not signed by the arbiters of the match. A 21 move draw.<br /><br />The 1st International Tal Memorial Chess tournament was held in the magician's hometown of Riga Latvia from April 12th to the 24th 1995. It was the first tournament in a series of three organized by the PCA that year as a "Super Classic." The following two tournaments were held in Novgorod at the end of May and Horgen after the completion of the PCA world championship match. Eleven grandmasters including the world champion were invited to compete in the round robin event. The participants were in order of PCA rating: Garry Kasparov 2789 Vassily Ivanchuk 2764 Vishwanathan Anand 2758 Vladimir Kramnik 2713 Artur Yusupov 2676 Jaan Ehlvest 2669 Rafael Vaganian 2645 Boris Gulko 2623 Nigel Short 2617 Jan Timman 2615 and local favorite Edvins Kengis 2555. The tournament was an important victory for Kasparov who had not managed such a convincing win in an elite event against Anand or Anatoli Karpov since Linares in 1993. Especially significant was Kasparov's win against Anand in the fourth round since Anand was obviously in top form and their world championship match was only in five months. Kasparov scored an impressive 75% and edged out Anand by half a point in the final. Kasparov 7.5/10 first followed a half point by Anand 7/10. Ivanchuk Kramnik and Short tied for third through fifth with 6. Gulko was clear sixth with 5 points. Seventh was Yusupov at 4.5. Eight was Ehlvest with 3.5 followed by a tie for ninth through eleventh with Kengis Timman and Vaganian each with a scored of three.<br /><br />Rafael Vaganian is an Armenian chess grandmaster known for his sharp tactical style of play. He achieved International Grandmaster status in 1971 at the unusually young age of 19 following an excellent result at the Vrnjacka Banja tournament the same year where he took first place ahead of Leonid Stein and Ljubomir Ljubojevic. This was also the year that he finished fourth at the World Junior Chess Championship the winner being the Swiss player Werner Hug. In the wake of this disappointing outcome he was so upset with himself that he challenged Hug to a blitz match in an attempt to salvage some pride. The players blitzed for only a few minutes and Vaganian emerged as the winner by a 10-0 scoreline.<br /><br />Vladimir Borisovich Kramnik is a Russian chess grandmaster. He was the Classical World Chess Champion from 2000 to 2006 and the undisputed World Chess Champion from 2006 to 2007. He has won three team gold medals and three individual medals at Chess Olympiads. In October 2000 he defeated Garry Kasparov in a match played in London and became the Classical World Chess Champion. In late 2004 Kramnik successfully defended his title against challenger Peter Leko in a drawn match played in Brissago Switzerland. In October 2006 Kramnik the Classical World Champion defeated reigning FIDE World Champion Veselin Topalov in a unification match the World Chess Championship 2006. As a result Kramnik became the first undisputed World Champion holding both the FIDE and Classical titles since Kasparov split from FIDE in 1993. In 2007 Kramnik lost the title to Viswanathan Anand who won the World Chess Championship 2007 tournament ahead of Kramnik. He challenged Anand at the World Chess Championship 2008 to regain his title but lost. Nonetheless he has remained a top player; he reached a peak rating of 2817 in October 2016 which makes him the seventh-highest rated player of all time and is No. 3 on the FIDE world rankings as of February 2018.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Light edge wear else a better than very good copy.
