Joseph J. Dimock's descriptions of Cuba in his travel diary provide a remarkable firsthand view of a fascinating period in the island's history. In the mid-nineteenth century, the United States was pursuing manifest destiny. The war with Mexico had resulted in a vast increase of national territory, and many north Americans wanted Cuba as the next acquisition. In addition to annexationist plots, Cuban life was marked by slave conspiracies, colonial insurrections, economic expansion, and political intrigue. Impressions of Cuba in the Nineteenth Century describes the social, economic and political conditions in the 1850s. Dimock's entries of his travels and observations as an American reveal details of Cuban agriculture, plant life, and natural resources. The diary also provides elaborate accounts of the sugar industry, extensive commentary on the daily live of slaves, Spaniards, and Cubans. Dimock's curiosity led him around the island, into prisons, salons, and other unusual places, resulting in a wide-ranging account of Cuban life. Impressions of Cuba in the Nineteenth Century provides a highly accessible, entertaining, and insightful look at Cuba.

Ford, Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac and other Lincoln, Pontiac or Mercury: here come the forever young-looking Americans, two-colored and completely refurbished by the mechanics having the hang of car pimping. They proudly dash away along the bumpy roads of "Crocodile Island" while the paunchy stomachs of overweight tourists display the portrait of the "Che" on their T-shirts as they walk by the long, wind-swept Varadero beach. Tonight, the resort's all-inclusive buffet will serve an unlimited supply of Daiquiri, so everyone can pay an alcohol-filled tribute to Hemingway: "There's nothing like Vitamin R for high spirits!". R as in Rum.So much for the common clichés.For the last 50 years, Cuba has been under a never-ending economic, financial and commercial embargo and now the country wishes to keep its identity and its social benefits (healthcare, education...) while it is ready to start afresh too.The signs that the country is changing, timidly initiated a decade ago, are many even though they still haven't disrupted the inhabitants' daily life:− Owning a mobile phone is allowed since 2008.− Travelling anywhere overseas is allowed since 2013.− Liberalisation of car sales (at exorbitant prices) since 2014.− Reconciliation rendered official between Havana and Washington in the same year and reopening of respective embassies on July 20, 2015.− Barack Obama's official visit in March 2016.Today, more than ever since the 1959 Revolution, Cuba is shifting towards modernity.Hence the importance to gather information on this turning point.

Excerpt from South and North, or Impressions Received During a Trip to Cuba and the South This book scarcely needs a preface. In my trip, I have kept my eyes and ears Open, and have recorded all I have seen, heard and thought, which, it has appeared to me, would interest the community, or would throw light upon that question which now agitates our country from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the Saint Lawrence to the Gulf. I am an American citizen, and it is my prerogative to speak frankly and freely. I love our country, our whole country, and therefore I will not allow any earnestness of utterance to interfere with the.
