Description

The Times Literary Supplement calls Louis A. Pérez Jr. “the foremost historian of Cuba writing in English.” In this new edition of his acclaimed 1990 volume, he brings his expertise to bear at the history and direction of relations between Cuba and america.

Of the entire peoples in Latin The usa, the writer argues, none have been more familiar to america than Cubans―who in turn have come to know their northern neighbors equally well. That specialize in what President McKinley known as “the ties of singular intimacy” linking the destinies of the two societies, Pérez examines the points at which they have got made contact―politically, culturally, economically―and explores the dilemmas that proximity to america has posed to Cubans in their quest for national identity.

This edition has been up to date to cover such developments of up to date years as the renewed debate over American trade sanctions against Cuba, the Elián González controversy, and increased cultural exchanges between the two countries. Also included are a new preface and an up to date bibliographical essay.
