The Cubans : ordinary lives in extraordinary times / Anthony DePalma. by Depalma, Anthony, author.

Cubans today, most of whom have lived their entire lives under the Castro regime, are hesitantly embracing the future. In his new book, Anthony DePalma, a veteran reporter with years of experience in Cuba, focuses on a neighborhood across the harbor from Old Havana to dramatize the optimism as well as the enormous challenges that Cubans face: a moving snapshot of Cuba with all its contradictions as the new regime opens the gate to the capitalism that Fidel railed against for so long. In Guanabacoa, longtime residents prove enterprising in the extreme. Scrounging materials in the black market, Cary Luisa Limonta Ewen has started her own small manufacturing business, a surprising turn for a former ranking member of the Communist Party. Her good friend Lili, a loyal Communist, heads the neighborhood's watchdog revolutionary committee. Artist Arturo Montoto, who had long lived and worked in Mexico, moved back to Cuba when he saw improving conditions but complains like any artist about recognition. In stark contrast, Jorge García lives in Miami and continues to seek justice for the sinking of a tugboat full of refugees, a tragedy that claimed the lives of his son, grandson, and twelve other family members, a massacre for which the government denies any role. In The Cubans, many patriots face one new question: is their loyalty to the revolution, or to their country?"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 972.9123 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.9123 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.9123 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 972.9123 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Nonfiction 972.9123 De Checked In Add Copy to MyList
