Book Synopsis My Havana by : Maria Carida Cumana
Download or read book My Havana written by Maria Carida Cumana. This book was released on 2014-09-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than thirty years, musician Carlos Varela has been a guide to the heart, soul, and sound of Havana. One of the best known singer-songwriters to emerge out of the Cuban nueva trova movement, Varela has toured in North America, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. In North America, Varela is “Cuba’s Bob Dylan.” In Cuba, he is the voice of the generation that came of age in the 1990s and for whom his songs are their generation’s anthems. My Havana is a lyrical exploration of Varela’s life and work, and of the vibrant musical, literary, and cinematic culture of his generation. Popular both among Cubans on the island and in the diaspora, Varela is legendary for the intense political honesty of lyrics. He is one of the most important musicians in the Cuban scene today. In My Havana, writers living in Canada, Cuba, the United States, and Great Britain use Varela’s life and music to explore the history and cultural politics of contemporary Cuba. The book also contains an extended interview with Varela and English translations of the lyrics to all his recorded songs, most of which are appearing in print for the very first time.

Book Synopsis Goodbye, My Havana by : Anna Veltfort
Download or read book Goodbye, My Havana written by Anna Veltfort. This book was released on 2019-10-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This graphic memoir of growing up queer in Revolutionary Cuba “is both historically important and utterly engaging” (Justin Hall, editor of No Straight Lines). Through evocative illustration and honest prose, Anna Veltfort tells a candidly personal story set against a backdrop of world-changing events during the headiest years of the Cuban Revolution. Goodbye, My Havana follows sixteen-year-old Connie as her relatively privileged life among anti-imperialist expatriates turns to progressive disillusionment and heartbreak. The consolidation of Castro’s position brings violence, cruelty, and betrayal to Connie's doorstep. And the crackdown that ultimately forces her family and others to flee for their lives includes homosexuals among its targets. Connie’s coming-of-age story is one also about the dangers of coming out. With clarity and tenderness, Veltfort looks back at her alter ego and a forgotten era. She takes leave of the past even as she brings neglected moments of the Cold War into the present.
