Firmat explores the process of assimilation or transculturation in the case of Cuba, and proposes a new understanding of the issue of Cuban national identity through revisionary readings dating from the early decades of the twentieth century, a time of intense self-reflection in the nation's history. He argues that Cuban identity is translational rather than foundational and that cubanía emerges from a nuanced, self-conscious recasting of foreign models.

Industrial Cuba by Robert P. Porter offers an in-depth economic, political, and commercial survey of post-Spanish-American War Cuba at the dawn of the 20th century. Written by a respected economist and journalist who served as a U.S. special commissioner to Cuba, the book provides a comprehensive and strategic analysis of the island’s industries, institutions, and investment potential in the aftermath of independence and U.S. military occupation. Divided into 29 chapters, this study explores critical dimensions of Cuban society, including political structures, the labor market, population dynamics, sanitation reform, urban development, banking and currency, tariff systems, and the economic implications of American influence. With chapters dedicated to the island’s core industries—sugar, tobacco, mining, agriculture, timber, and fruit—Porter presents a practical guide for American investors, entrepreneurs, and labor forces seeking opportunities abroad. Particularly illuminating are detailed accounts of cities like Havana and Santiago, the progress of sanitary reforms under Colonel Waring, and the complex municipal and public health challenges the new Cuban government faced. Porter also examines the social fabric of the island through insights into education, religion, and even a personal visit with General Máximo Gómez, the famed Cuban revolutionary. Porter’s work is not just a report—it is a blueprint advocating for the responsible and profitable integration of American capital and labor into Cuba’s rebuilding efforts. This volume remains an invaluable resource for scholars of economic imperialism, post-colonial development, Latin American studies, and early 20th-century U.S.-Cuba relations.

It is one of the most extraordinary cases in the history of science: the mating calls of insects were mistaken for a “sonic weapon” that led to a major diplomatic row. Since August 2017, the world media has been absorbed in the “attack” on diplomats from the American and Canadian Embassies in Cuba. While physicians treating victims have described it as a novel and perplexing condition that involves an array of complaints including brain damage, the authors present compelling evidence that mass psychogenic illness was the cause of “Havana Syndrome.” This mysterious condition that has baffled experts is explored across 11-chapters which offer insights by a prominent neurologist and an expert on psychogenic illness. A lively and enthralling read, the authors explore the history of similar scares from the 18th century belief that sounds from certain musical instruments were harmful to human health, to 19th century cases of “telephone shock,” and more contemporary panics involving people living near wind turbines that have been tied to a variety of health complaints. The authors provide dozens of examples of kindred episodes of mass hysteria throughout history, in addition to psychosomatic conditions and even the role of insects in triggering outbreaks. Havana Syndrome: Mass Psychogenic Illness and the Real Story Behind the Embassy Mystery and Hysteria is a scientific detective story and a case study in the social construction of mass psychogenic illness.
