Instituto Cubano del Libro - Editorial Arte y Literatura (cover designer: Carlos Rubido, editor: Eliana Dávila, author: Pedro Deschamps Chapeaux), "Los Batallones de Pardos y Morenos Libres," 1976. Offset print, book.

This historical investigation by Pedro Deschamps Chapeaux (1913-1981) examines the military battalions of free people of color (pardos and morenos libres) in colonial Cuba, receiving honorable mention in the July 26th Historical Research Contest organized by the Political Direction of the Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR). The striking modernist cover design by Carlos Rubido features bold horizontal bands in green, orange, black, and the prominent white number "26"—referencing the July 26, 1953 Moncada attack that launched the Cuban Revolution. Published by Editorial Arte y Literatura through the Instituto Cubano del Libro in 1976, this work represents the revolutionary government's commitment to recovering marginalized histories of Afro-Cuban military participation. Deschamps Chapeaux was a distinguished historian who received multiple awards for his research on Black people in 19th-century Cuban journalism and economics, working at the Institute of Social Sciences of the Cuban Academy of Sciences. His scholarship contributed to the broader project of historical rectification that sought to illuminate the contributions of previously overlooked groups in Cuban independence struggles, particularly the role of free people of color in colonial military organizations
