A user placed this comment in the body of the entry. But it really belongs here, so here it is:
(The population in Cuba in 1902 was of about 3 million people with a racial split of 50-50. This article claims that close to 60% of Cuba's population today descent from black slaves, this needs to better researched, taking in to consideration the great immigration of Spaniards in the 20th century, close to a million between 1918 and 1930 offsetting the racial balance toward the Spanish and other European whites. The 1957 census puts the percentage of Blacks in Cuba at 13%, mulattoes at 11%. About 3 million white Cubans have left the country in the last 57 years but in spite of this, the 2008 census puts the white population of Spanish descent at 65%) Much of the white population of Cuba inhabits the countryside and rural towns while in certain cities blacks can be a majority.
That's not my comment. Just something I've copied.

Limited sources
Though the article has an average number of citations, it relies on a limited few. The scholarship on the history of slavery in Cuba in broad and expanding. Including the thoughts and ideas of other scholars will enrich this article.

Abolition?
This section appears to be missing. It should include both the formal decree of 1886 and an evaluation of its defects.

History problems
What happened between "the 16th century" and 1762?

Yeah, reading this you might think that slavery began in Cuba because the British introduced it, since nothing is discussed in any detail before this date.

Some good content has been added to address this gap, though the article is still in need of further research on the period of indigenous enslavement as well as the post-slavery transition into indentured labor. --
