Culture and Customs of Cuba is a much-needed resource to give students and other readers an in-depth view of our important island neighbor. Luis, of Cuban descent, provides detailed, clear insight into Cuban culture in its historical context. Religion, customs, economy, media, performing and creative arts, and cinema are some of the many topics discussed. Included in this discussion are contributions of Cubans in exile which Luis considers an inherent part of Cuban culture. Encouraging a wider understanding of Cuba, this volume describes and highlights the cultures and customs of the island. Cuba, as one will learn while reading this book, is an island of many cultural customs that have evolved out of a rich history. Presented in the context of three interrelated periods in Cuban history: the Colonial, the Republic, and Castro's Revolution, this book explores Cuba's dynamic culture. Luis also notes the spread of Cuban culture abroad, where a significant part of the Cuban population has lived since the earl 19th century. Students and others interested in this country will find this book to be extraordinarily helpful and informative. 410 0$aCulture and customs of Latin America and the Caribbean. 606 $aArts, Cuban$y20th century 606 $aPopular culture$zCuba 607 $aCuba$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aCuba$xSocial life and customs$y20th century 615 0$aArts, Cuban 615 0$aPopular culture 676 $a972.9106 700 $aLuis$b William$0704232 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961197703321 996 $aCulture and customs of Cuba$94339118 997 $aUNINA
