Abstract
ABSTRACTThe Anniversary of the Triumph of the Revolution Crime Fiction Award was established in 1971, and given for the first time in 1972, as part of a policy to support the production of crime fiction in Cuba. From that year on and for at least another decade, it is impossible to find another cultural area that enjoyed the level of support and incentives that crime fiction did. In this article I establish the relationship between cultural policies adopted at the 1971 First Congress of Education and Culture and the implementation of a specific policy to support crime fiction. I pay special attention to the role played by the Anniversary of the Triumph of the Revolution award, and to the programmatic texts written by cultural officials to establish the theoretical and practical basis of the novela policial revolucionaria, focusing on the period 1971–1986.
