Miguel Ángel Quevedo y de la Lastra (July 31, 1908 – August 12, 1969) was the publisher and editor of Bohemia, the most popular news-weekly in Cuba and the oldest Latin America, known for its political journalism and editorial writing.

[3] On January 1, 1927, due to his father's failing health, when he was eighteen years old, Quevedo Pérez assumed the responsibilities of running Bohemia.

[4] Almost immediately, Quevedo became one of the principle voices of opposition to the dictatorship of Gerardo Machado, a distinction for which he was jailed several times in the early 1930s.

[1] After the Cuban Revolution of 1933, Quevedo also became a vocal critic of the myriad dictatorships that gripped Latin America in the 1930s and 1940s - Ramón Grau, Fulgencio Batista, and others.

[1] On July 26, 1958 the magazine published the Sierra Maestra Manifesto, a document that purported to unify the opposition groups fighting Batista.

[8] In October 1960, Quevedo went to New York City, where he gathered talent and partners for a version of his publication to be published in exile, Bohemia Libre.

[1][7] On August 12, 1969, weeks after his publication went bankrupt and he was heavily indebted to loan sharks and had cashed large checks without funds, the inveterate bachelor committed suicide, at age 61, in the Caracas apartment that he shared with his sister Rosa Margarita Quevedo.

[1] In 1969, the Miami Herald published a suicide letter from Quevedo supposedly sent to journalist Ernesto Morando, apologizing for his role in bringing Fidel Castro's regime to power.

"[9]However, Journalists Agustín Tamargo and Carlos Castañeda (both former Bohemia writers) believed this letter was a fraud, and denounced its authenticity.
