The work presented here, The great sorrow of the world: notes for the study of slavery, from a Cuban history and literature perspective, is a didactic proposal that aims to propose literary works that address the issue of slavery from different perspectives. The theme responds to a social problem of great importance: the legacy of African cultures to the consolidation of the Cuban nation and therefore to its identity and culture. The proposal is made from an interdisciplinary perspective between literature and history. For the study, works of great importance that set standards in the treatment of the subject in world literature were analyzed and proposed as a bibliography. The work consists of: Introduction where the background of the study is proposed taking into account the most significant authors, Development where the proposed works are analyzed and bibliographic references that address the subject are exposed, Conclusions and Bibliography.
