Alex Harris

The Idea of Cuba


Segments & Pages

About the Author, Preface, Review

“Cuba is very much an idea, much more than a reality; it is an idea that no Cuban takes for granted, but nurtures, cultivates, defends, possesses, celebrates. This book both documents and brings to life Cubans’ experiences of being part of Cuba. Thus the idea of Cuba emerges slowly, deliberately, bit by bit. The images in this book are seductive and powerful, and the voice that conveys its stories both vulnerable and compelling, much like Cuba itself.” Lillian Guerra, Associate Professor of Caribbean History, Yale University.
