As part of the library's "tour of Cuba" month, exploring the rich history, arts and culture of Cuba, Pulitzer Prize Winning writer, Ada Ferrer, will discuss her book Cuba: An American History. Cuba details the epic, sweeping history of Cuba and its complex ties to the United States—from before the arrival of Columbus to the present day. Kirkus, in a starred review, applauds Ferrer for unwrapping a “wonderfully nuanced history of the island nation and its often troubled dealings with its gigantic and voracious neighbor.” This program is supported by the William B. Eldredge Permanent Memorial.
