Book excerpt: Growing up as the son of a crack head, nothing ever came easy to Harlem Latrell. From as young as he could remember he had been taking care of his siblings, while his mom was strung out on crack; only reappearing to cause havoc in the house. At fifteen years old Harlem met his dad, Big H and everything changed overnight giving him a life he never thought possible. He went from nothing to hood royalty in the blink of an eye and by the time Harlem left school he was in the streets heavy. But losing his childhood sweetheart to a stray bullet 3 years ago left him closed off to the world and the prospect of ever finding love again. He was all about his business, making money and having fun. That all changed when he laid eyes on Havana, in an instant he knew he was going to make her his woman. Havana had always had a very sheltered life. She was the daughter of one of the biggest hustlers in Atlanta and he kept her hidden away out of fear that one of his enemies would use her to get to him; or so she had always been led to believe, but secrets are revealed that make her question her entire life. When Havana met Harlem her heart skipped a beat, it was like nothing she had ever felt before, but she loved her boyfriend and felt guilty for even thinking of another man in the way that she thought about Harlem. A chance meeting brought them together, but with bombshells being dropped, will they make it out of this or will the secrets between them destroy them before they even get started? What happens in the dark will always come to light..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis examines black transnational linkages between the U.S. and Cuba during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Beginning with an examination of approaches to black citizenship, it analyzes the processes of inclusion and exclusion that dictated legal and societal positionality of black populations in each country. This paper then applies the implications of black citizenship to ensuing expressions of identity within black cultural movements: the Harlem Renaissance and Afrocubanismo. Finally it explores the relationship between Langston Hughes and Nicolás Guillén as a metaphor for the connection between the two movements and their respective audiences more broadly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LAJSA Book Award Winner, 2017, Latin American Jewish Studies Association As Cuba industrialized in the nineteenth century, an epochal realignment of the social order occurred. In this period of change, two seemingly disparate, yet nevertheless intertwined, ideological forces appeared: anti-Semitism and abolitionism. As the antislavery movement became organized in Cuba, the argument grew that Jews participated in the African slave trade and in New World slavery, and that this participation gave Jews extraordinary influence in the new Cuban economy and culture. What was remarkable about this anti-Semitism was the decidedly small Jewish population on the island in this era. This form of anti-Semitism, Silverstein reveals, sprang almost exclusively from mythological beliefs.

Latino/Latina Studies. Challenging the boundaries of fiction, HAVANA: BETWEEN THE SKY AND HEAVEN takes the reader on a rollercoaster journey through Cuba in the 1990s, years that shook Havana and its revolution. In the face of insurmountable difficulties, Pineiro's protagonist, Roosevelt, and his friends take to sea in makeshift rafts in pursuit of freedom. The narrator who flees to London, tells of the demise of those who die, others who must suffer prison and yet others who live to compare their rueful tales of triumph. The reader will find also that special places in the narrative have been reserved for the jineteras or prostitutes of Havana, for Ernest Hemingway's skipper, Gregorio, and for the celebrated Cuban dancer, Carlos Acosta. Ruswel Pineiro has written short stories and poetry but this is his first novel. He studied English and Literature at the University of Havana, Cuba, but now lives and works as a translator in London.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE IN HISTORY WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE IN HISTORY “Full of…lively insights and lucid prose” (The Wall Street Journal) an epic, sweeping history of Cuba and its complex ties to the United States—from before the arrival of Columbus to the present day—written by one of the world’s leading historians of Cuba. In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, the United States severed diplomatic relations with Cuba, where a momentous revolution had taken power three years earlier. For more than half a century, the stand-off continued—through the tenure of ten American presidents and the fifty-year rule of Fidel Castro. His death in 2016, and the retirement of his brother and successor Raúl Castro in 2021, have spurred questions about the country’s future. Meanwhile, politics in Washington—Barack Obama’s opening to the island, Donald Trump’s reversal of that policy, and the election of Joe Biden—have made the relationship between the two nations a subject of debate once more. Now, award-winning historian Ada Ferrer delivers an “important” (The Guardian) and moving chronicle that demands a new reckoning with both the island’s past and its relationship with the United States. Spanning more than five centuries, Cuba: An American History provides us with a front-row seat as we witness the evolution of the modern nation, with its dramatic record of conquest and colonization, of slavery and freedom, of independence and revolutions made and unmade. Along the way, Ferrer explores the sometimes surprising, often troubled intimacy between the two countries, documenting not only the influence of the United States on Cuba but also the many ways the island has been a recurring presence in US affairs. This is a story that will give Americans unexpected insights into the history of their own nation and, in so doing, help them imagine a new relationship with Cuba; “readers will close [this] fascinating book with a sense of hope” (The Economist). Filled with rousing stories and characters, and drawing on more than thirty years of research in Cuba, Spain, and the United States—as well as the author’s own extensive travel to the island over the same period—this is a stunning and monumental account like no other.

Book excerpt: Rising star Simon Hall captures the spirit of the 1960s in ten days that revolutionised the Cold War: Fidel Castro's visit to New York. Hall has captured this catalytic moment like no one before. Anyone interested in the "Global Sixties" must read Ten Days in Harlem. Van E. Gosse, Professor of History, Franklin & Marshall College. New York City, September 1960. Fidel Castro - champion of the oppressed, scourge of colonialism, and leftist revolutionary - arrives for the opening of the United Nations General Assembly. His visit to the UN represents a golden opportunity to make his mark on the world stage. Fidel's shock arrival in Harlem is met with a rapturous reception from the local African American community. He holds court from the iconic Hotel Theresa as a succession of world leaders, black freedom fighters and counter-cultural luminaries - everyone from Nikita Khrushchev to Gamal Abdel Nasser, Malcolm X to Allen Ginsberg - come calling. Then, during his landmark address to the UN General Assembly - one of the longest speeches in the organisation's history - he promotes the politics of anti-imperialism with a fervour, and an audacity, that makes him an icon of the 1960s. In this unforgettable slice of modern history, Simon Hall reveals how these ten days were a foundational moment in the trajectory of the Cold War, a turning point in the history of anti-colonial struggle, and a launching pad for the social, cultural and political tumult of the decade that followed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cuban Table is a comprehensive, contemporary overview of Cuban food, recipes and culture as recounted by serious home cooks and professional chefs, restaurateurs and food writers. Cuban-American food writer Ana Sofia Pelaez and award-winning photographer Ellen Silverman traveled through Cuba, Miami and New York to document and learn about traditional Cuban cooking from a wide range of authentic sources. Cuban home cooks are fiercely protective of their secrets. Content with a private kind of renown, they demonstrate an elusive turn of hand that transforms simple recipes into bright and memorable meals that draw family and friends to their tables time and again. More than just a list of ingredients or series of steps, Cuban cooks' tricks and touches hide in plain sight, staying within families or being passed down in well-worn copies of old cookbooks largely unread outside of the Cuban community. Here you'll find documented recipes for everything from iconic Cuban sandwiches to rich stews with Spanish accents and African ingredients, accompanied by details about historical context and insight into cultural nuances. More than a cookbook, The Cuban Table is a celebration of Cuban cooking, culture and cuisine. With stunning photographs throughout and over 110 deliciously authentic recipes this cookbook invites you into one of the Caribbean's most interesting and vibrant cuisines.

Download or read book Listening in Detail written by Alexandra T. Vazquez and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listening in Detail is an original and impassioned take on the intellectual and sensory bounty of Cuban music as it circulates between the island, the United States, and other locations. It is also a powerful critique of efforts to define "Cuban music" for ethnographic examination or market consumption. Contending that the music is not a knowable entity but a spectrum of dynamic practices that elude definition, Alexandra T. Vazquez models a new way of writing about music and the meanings assigned to it. "Listening in detail" is a method invested in opening up, rather than pinning down, experiences of Cuban music. Critiques of imperialism, nationalism, race, and gender emerge in fragments and moments, and in gestures and sounds through Vazquez's engagement with Alfredo Rodríguez's album Cuba Linda (1996), the seventy-year career of the vocalist Graciela Pérez, the signature grunt of the "Mambo King" Dámaso Pérez Prado, Cuban music documentaries of the 1960s, and late-twentieth-century concert ephemera.
