José M. Capmany
Best known today for a collaboration on an early 20th-century book about Cuba, this little-documented writer remains something of a mystery. The scarce record makes his work feel like a small recovered fragment of literary and political history.

Guerra de razas (Negros contra Blancos en Cuba)
by Rafael Conte, José M. Capmany
About the author
José M. Capmany is a historical author whose surviving public profile is very limited. He is credited alongside Rafael Conte as a co-author of Guerra de razas (Negros contra Blancos en Cuba), a work preserved in major library catalogs and Project Gutenberg.
Because reliable biographical sources about him are scarce, basic details such as his birth, death, and wider career are not easy to confirm from readily available public references. For that reason, it is safest to describe him as an early 20th-century Spanish-language author known primarily through this collaboration.
That lack of documentation does not make the book unimportant. Instead, it places Capmany among the many writers whose names survive mainly through the texts they left behind, offering readers a glimpse into the political and social debates of their time.
