This book explores the humanities as an insightful platform for
understanding and responding to the military prison at Guantanamo
Bay, other manifestations of "Guantanamo," and the contested place
of freedom in American Empire. It presents the work of scholars and
writers based in Cuba's Guantanamo Province and various parts of
the US. Its essays, short stories, poetry, and other texts engage
the far-reaching meaning and significance of Gitmo by bringing
together what happens on the U.S. side of the fence-or "la cerca,"
as it is called in Cuba-with perspectives from the outside world.
Chapters include critiques of artistic renderings of the Guantanamo
region; historical narratives contemplating the significance of
freedom; analyses of the ways the base and region inform the Cuban
imaginary; and fiction and poetry published for the first time in
English. Not simply a critique of imperialism, this volume presents
politically engaged commentary that suggests a way forward for a
site of global contact and conflict.
