El tema de la libertad ha sido uno de los más debatidos en la cultura cubana, sin embargo, hasta el momento no se ha estudiado como discurso, como instrumento impreciso y vulnerable a inconsistencias. Dentro y fuera de Cuba se prefiere hablar de libertad en relación a factores externos - religión, política, derechos civiles. Esto explica por qué tantos de los que abordan este tema de las letras cubanas se han mantenido ajenos a las contradicciones propias del mismo. Libertad en cadenas explora los orígenes y trayectoria de las ideas de la libertad que mayor impacto han tenido en la cultura cubana a fin de llamar la atención sobre las aporías inherentes a una serie de discursos - mítico-religiosos, teológicos, filosóficos, políticos, fílmicos, literarios - desde principios del siglo diecinueve hasta hoy. Al igual que en el resto de América Latina, donde figuras como Borges o Paz han confrontado de manera directa y auto-consciente estas dificultades propias de los discursos sobre libertad, en Cuba los que mejor han sabido explorar este asunto han sido escritores y cineastas. Ésta es la razón por la que, sin descuidar las contribuciones de un pensador como Jorge Mañach o las del político Fidel Castro, este estudio dedica especial atención al análisis de discursos literarios y fílmicos como los José Martí, Virgilio Piñera, Alejo Carpentier, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, José Lezama Lima, Leonardo Padura Fuentes, Nelson Simón, Zoé Valdés y José Antonio Ponte, entre otros. Algo que distingue los discursos cubanos de la libertad es el hecho de que, conscientemente o no de ello, todos fluctúan entre el mito y la ironía; fluctuación ésta cuyos registros más notables incluyen la trascendencia y sus demandas de sacrificio, el existencialismo, el choteo y, en fechas más recientes, una distancia crítica que ni abraza ni rechaza del todo, sino que observa con una actitud benignamente cansada el montaje ideológico-discursivo de las ideas sobre la libertad.
