Join us for a lively discussion of a variety of titles, fiction and non-fiction.  

This month we are reading and discussing Cuba:  an American History by Ada Ferrer.  (2021)

Synopsis:  Award-winning historian Ada Ferrer delivers an ambitious and moving chronicle of more than five hundred years of Cuban history, reconceived and written for a moment when history itself seems up for grabs. Starting on the eve of the arrival of Columbus and ending with the 2020 US presidential election, Cuba: An American History provides us with a front-row seat as we witness the evolution of modern Cuba, with its dramatic history of conquest and colonization, of slavery and freedom, of independence and revolutions made and unmade. Throughout, Ferrer explores the sometimes surprising, often troubled intimacy between Cuba and its neighbor to the north, documenting not only the influence of the UnitedStates on Cuba but also the many ways Cuba has been a recurring presence in US affairs.  560 p.  *Pulitzer Prize in History
