2 posts | 1 read
Cuba: The Mob, Castro, and the End of the Embargo, explores Cuba's complicated history and emergence from an era of economic isolation from the US. Exploring America's relationship with Cuba, the many political forces that have shaped the country's identity including communism, Batista, and The United Fruit Company; the conflicted legacy of Che Guevara; and the current relationship between Fidel and Raul Castro and President Obama, Cuba contextualizes what the future holds for the Pearl of the Antilles.

I visited Cuba over the summer and started this #nonfiction book to get a general overview of the country. Finally finished the book today and it makes me long to go back and visit again. The book is short and provides basic information on Cuba's past and present history.

So other than the all-too-obvious Joe Hill book which creeped me out on #audiobook, the first thing that came to mind for the #heartshapedbox prompt for #90sinjuly was this image from Fusterlandia in Cuba.
