Écue-Yamba-Ó es la primera novela del escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 1933. La historia sigue la vida de Menegildo Cue, un joven afro-cubano, y explora las condiciones sociales y religiosas de los trabajadores negros en los ingenios azucareros de Cuba a principios del siglo XX. La novela combina elementos del naturalismo con preocupaciones estéticas vanguardistas, especialmente del surrealismo francés, y está repleta de símbolos y rituales relacionados con las creencias religiosas afrocubanas.
Alejo Carpentier y Valmont was a Cuban novelist, essayist, and musicologist who greatly influenced Latin American literature during its famous "boom" period. Born in Lausanne, Switzerland, of French and Russian parentage, Carpentier grew up in Havana, Cuba, and despite his European birthplace, he strongly identified as Cuban throughout his life. He traveled extensively, particularly in France, and to South America and Mexico, where he met prominent members of the Latin American cultural and artistic community. Carpentier took a keen interest in Latin American politics and often aligned himself with revolutionary movements, such as Fidel Castro's Communist Revolution in Cuba in the mid-20th century. Carpentier was jailed and exiled for his leftist political philosophies.
