This book examines the ways in which Cuba's revolutions of 1933 and
1959 became touchstones for border-crossing endeavors of radical
politics and cultural experimentation over the mid-twentieth
century. It argues that new networks of solidarity building between
US and Cuban allies also brought with them perils and pitfalls that
could not be separated from the longer history of US empire in
Cuba. As US and Cuban subjects struggled together towards common
aspirations of racial and gender equality, fairer distribution of
wealth, and anti-imperialism, they created a unique index of
cultural work that widens our understanding of the transition
between hemispheric modernism and postmodernism. Canvassing poetry,
music, journalism, photographs, and other cultural expressions
around themes of revolution, this book seeks new understanding of
how race, gender, and nationhood could shift in meaning and
materialization when traveling across the Florida Straits.
