The Portable Island Cubans at Home in the

Cubans today are at home in diasporas that stretch from Miami to Mexico City to Moscow. Back on the island, watching as fellow Cubans leave, the impact of departure upon departure can be wrenching. How do Cubans confront their condition as an uprooted people?The Portable Island: Cubans at Home in the Worldoffers a stunning chorus of responses, gathering some of the most daring Cuban writers, artists, and thinkers to address the haunting effect of globalization on their own lives.

Ruth Behar is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. Lucía M. Suárez is Associate Professor of Spanish at Amherst College.
