Rómulo Lachatañeré, 1906-1952, was born in Santiago de Cuba. A self-taught ethnologist and photographer who moved to New York City in 1939, Lachatañeré wrote articles and two books, Oh Mio! Yemaya (1938) and Manual de Santeria (1942), on Afro-Cuban religious beliefs. He also wrote articles and news reports on the conditions of Puerto Ricans living in the United States, and race relations in Cuba. In the mid-1940s, Lachatañeré began using photography as a documentary resource, recording the social and living conditions of African Americans and Puerto Ricans in East Harlem and Brooklyn, New York. In early 1952, after photographing the conditions of workers and their families in Puerto Rico, Lachatañeré died in a plane crash returning to the United States. Film rolls, mailed to his wife Sara, were posthumously developed and organized as an exhibition by his colleague Jack Lessinger. The Rómulo Lachatañeré photographs of New York City and Puerto Rico contain depictions of African Americans and Latin Americans living in New York City, from 1947 to 1951, and of workers and their families in Puerto Rico, in 1952. less
