The Breath of Cuba is a timely cultural snapshot of a culture at the brink of change. The story brings the flavor of Cuba alive and celebrates its rich cultural heritage in a way that few other books on Cuba will because of the intimate connection Cheri created with the people through coming there as a student of their music and culture.This is a story about love.Not the kind of love between a man and a woman. Nor the kind of love between a mother and a child. It's not the kind of love that leaves you lost and abandoned. No, not that kind of love that makes you wither and die.But this is a story about love.It's a story that transcends human romance through the realm of the romance of life. It takes you into the heart of Cuba through one woman's love of magic, music, community, culture and passion.What Readers are Saying:"I love it! The way you write it just makes me want to continue to read more and more. I can visualize what you are talking about from both my own experience being in Cuba and also from my exposure to different cultures and traveling. Well done Cheri!" Ewket Assefa"I love the the fact that the story is not about getting the love from others but finding it within yourself. I think it is provocatively sensual, and thought provoking. It makes us all want to live a richer life, full of possibilities." Kristina Sutcliffe

Breathe is a collection that explores the heart of Fidel Castro-era Cuba; an outsider's look that is balanced by a weight of empathy to illuminate truths that lie couched between the island's propaganda and the Western media's portrayal. Characters from Europe and the USA in Swimming, Taxi and Sabbatical seem to want to hold on to the indulgences that their countries offer them, while praising Cubans for the more abstemious lives they lead and seeking to sample what the locals experience; in Siempre Luchando, I Never See Them Cry and The Party, romantic liaisons strengthen or buckle under the strain of the minute exploitations that result from the assumptions one makes about the other; the seedy sexual aggression of Luca's Trip to Havana is undercut by the subtle yet intense lust of Breathe; while Leaving Cuba, with its closing image of Havana's night sky, is as eloquently balanced a tale of the lives of everyday Cubans as you will read in a long while - whichever path one takes, something is lost. As Aida Bahr, winner of Cuba's Premio de la Critica Literaria says, "relying more on subtleties than on drama, [Segal] portrays the tensions and struggles, but also the joy and warmth, that fill Cubans' lives."

"He rose. The crowd thundered. He raised his hands. The crowd roared. He said something that was drowned out. The crowd became hysterical. I looked behind me and, for the first time, became frightened. A sea of flesh was stretched over the square, over the pavement, surging over the sidewalk and out and up over the sloping marching grounds. Fidel took a step forward. His right-hand man, Camilo Cienfuegos, was at his side. Right behind him, a huge Cuban flag billowed. Somewhere on the stage, they kept releasing white doves that flapped around. Fidel and Camilo took a step forward. The crowd surged forth, slamming us against the rifles in front of us. The breath was wrenched from me. I felt my knees grow weak..." Cuba and Me: Lost in the Eye of a Hurricane tells of the author's life in Cuba and her family's frightening escape, in the pre-dawn hours, under the threat from Castro's arrival in Havana. This story of adventure, family, friends, and community is told with fresh clarity, as seen through the eyes of a young girl, about what it was like growing up in pre-Castro Cuba.

In 1959, Fidel Castro became the new leader of Cuba after starting the Cuban Revolution and taking over by force. The US CIA, along with hundreds of Cuban antirevolutionists, opposed this new regime and, through covert operations, tried to stop him. David Fuentes Martinez joined the resistance in hopes to save his people from the hands of a communist. Davids story shares some of the dramatic events and frightening situations that he was involved in before learning that his life was in danger. Shortly after the Bay of Pigs Invasion, his team was compromised, and many were killed. In fear of being captured, he went into hiding. As Fidel Castros men narrowed in on him, he had to flee, leaving his country that he loved behind forever. Only a handful of rebels managed to escape. David Fuentes Martinez was one of them.

In power for forty-four years and counting, Fidel Castro has done everything possible to define Cuba to the world and to itself -- yet not even he has been able to control the thoughts and dreams of his people. Those thoughts and dreams are the basis for what may become a post-Castro Cuba. To more fully understand the future of America's near neighbor, veteran reporter Eugene Robinson knew exactly where to look -- or rather, to listen. In this provocative work, Robinson takes us on a sweaty, pulsating, and lyrical tour of a country on the verge of revolution, using its musicians as a window into its present and future. Music is the mother's milk of Cuban culture. Cubans express their fondest hopes, their frustrations, even their political dissent, through music. Most Americans think only of salsa and the Buena Vista Social Club when they think of the music of Cuba, yet those styles are but a piece of a broad musical spectrum. Just as the West learned more about China after the Cultural Revolution by watching From Mao to Mozart, so will readers discover the real Cuba -- the living, breathing, dying, yet striving Cuba. Cuban music is both wildly exuberant and achingly melancholy. A thick stew of African and European elements, it is astoundingly rich and influential to have come from such a tiny island. From rap stars who defy the government in their lyrics to violinists and pianists who attend the world's last Soviet-style conservatory to international pop stars who could make millions abroad yet choose to stay and work for peanuts, Robinson introduces us to unforgettable characters who happily bring him into their homes and backstage discussions. Despite Castro's attempts to shut down nightclubs, obstruct artists, and subsidize only what he wants, the musicians and dancers of Cuba cannot stop, much less behave. Cubans move through their complicated lives the way they move on the dance floor, dashing and darting and spinning on a dime, seducing joy and fulfillment and next week's supply of food out of a broken system. Then at night they take to the real dance floors and invent fantastic new steps. Last Dance in Havana is heartwrenching, yet ultimately as joyous and hopeful as a rocking club late on a Saturday night.
