In The Cuban Hustle, Sujatha Fernandes explores the multitudinous
ways artists, activists, and ordinary Cubans have hustled to
survive and express themselves in the aftermath of the Soviet
Union's collapse. Whether circulating information on flash drives
as a substitute for the internet or building homemade antennas to
listen to Miami's hip hop radio stations, Cubans improvise
alternative strategies and workarounds to contend with ongoing
isolation. Throughout these essays, Fernandes examines the
emergence of dynamic youth cultures and social movements as Cuba
grappled with economic collapse, new digital technologies, the
normalization of diplomatic ties with the United States during the
Obama administration, and the regression of US-Cuban relations in
the Trump era. From reflections on feminism, new Cuban cinema, and
public art to urban slums, the Afro-Cuban movement, and rumba and
hip hop, Fernandes reveals Cuba to be a world of vibrant cultures
grounded in an ethos of invention and everyday hustle.
