From Cuba with Love deals with love, sexuality, and politics in contemporary Cuba. In this beautiful narrative, Megan Daigle explores the role of women in Cuban political culture by examining the rise of economies of sex, romance, and money since the early 1990s. Daigle draws attention to the violence experienced by young women suspected of involvement with foreigners at the hands of a moralistic state, an opportunistic police force, and even their own families and partners. Investigating the lived realities of the Cuban women (and some men) who date tourists and offering a unique perspective on the surrounding debates, From Cuba with Love raises issues about women’s bodies–what they can or should do and, equally, what can be done to them. Daigle’s provocative perspective will make readers question how race and politics in Cuba are tied to women and sex, and the ways in which political power acts directly on the bodies of individuals through law, policing, institutional programs, and social norms.

An endearing recollection of my Cuban family growing up in Miami, Fllorida after arriving in 1945 from Cuba, 15 years before the Cuban revolution. A view from a unique window that frames an idyllic life as it was for the few Cubans residing in Miami, in contrast to what Miami became 15 years later and what has been written about the most...a burgeoning flood of exiles that started in the early 1960's.

The trip with my two brothers and a cousin that was the catalyst and inspiration to write and publish this humble recollection of our beloved parents.

To many older Americans, and especially those living in South Florida, Cuban immigration begins on page one of 1961, when the U.S. opened it's generous arms to welcome a mass exodus from Cuba. However, there is a slice of pre-1961 South Florida "Cuban" life that I dusted off and brought to the pages of "From Cuba With Love, & Back."The book is an endearing recollection of a Cuban family growing up in Miami, Florida. The antebellum days of fifteen years prior to the 1959 Cuban revolution and the mass exodus of 1961. "From Cuba With Love, & Back," depicts the softer, gentler sound and pace of the few Cubans who were already living in America.My parents did not pack political bags to come to America. They packed a suitcase with hopes and dreams. In 1945, my mother and father arrived in the United States, with the hope of finding steady work and the basic necessities to raise a loving family and provide for their children. For fifteen years, our home, neighborhood and Miami was nothing more than an idyllic landscape. Suddenly and unlike all the previous New Year's, when we as kids, would light firecrackers on dimly-lit Miami streets, a greater burst of light exploded on the streets of Havana on January 1, 1959! Cuba was undergoing a political overhaul. So too, our homes in quiet and quaint Miami, would soon thereafter become forums of intense discussions as only many Cubans know how to "discuss," by yelling! Miami would never again be quiet.

Pura Belpré Award Winner Ruth Behar's inspiring story of a young Jewish girl who escapes Poland to make a new life in Cuba, while she works to rescue the rest of her family The situation is getting dire for Jews in Poland on the eve of World War II. Esther's father has fled to Cuba, and she is the first one to join him. It's heartbreaking to be separated from her beloved sister, so Esther promises to write down everything that happens until they're reunited. And she does, recording both the good--the kindness of the Cuban people and her discovery of a valuable hidden talent--and the bad: the fact that Nazism has found a foothold even in Cuba. Esther's evocative letters are full of her appreciation for life and reveal a resourceful, determined girl with a rare ability to bring people together, all the while striving to get the rest of their family out of Poland before it's too late. Based on Ruth Behar's family history, this compelling story celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the most challenging times.
