Opis

This book examines how Cuba's revolutions of 1933 and 1959 became touchstones for border-crossing endeavors of radical politics and cultural experimentation over the mid-twentieth century.

Recenzje

'In tracing this history of transnational connectivity, the book produces an intimate portrait of African-American revolutionaries, feminist activists, proletarian writers, transnational exiles, dissidents, and artists, all of whose accounts challenge views of nation and nationalism as separate constructs of collective identity.' Luis Roniger, The Americas Journal
