ABSTRACT
The Spanish Civil War caused a mass exodus of men
and women of science and letters, who went into
exile stripped of their university chairs. At their
arrival to the Americas, they joined the sociocultural
and scientific institutions, leaving their enduring
marks here. Much has been written about the
literary exile; however, the scientific exile,
particularly in the branch of Dentistry, has not
received equal attention. Some books, monographs
and papers have addressed this subject, in addition
to some conferences, where scientific exile in Cuba
has not been included or sufficiently represented.
Hence, there is a need for a study that offers an
overview of the presence of dentists exiled in Latin
America, focusing on Cuba and particularly, on Luís
Amado Blanco Fernández, a personality who has
been studied from a literary point of view (as a poet,
novelist, playwright, literary and theater critic), but
not for his work as a dentist and his contributions to
Cuban dentistry, nor has been studied his work as a
diplomat in depth.
