"Cuban Memory Wars: Retrospective Politics in Revolution and Exile," by Michael J. Bustamante, LACS Weekly Seminar Series

Monday, September 20, 2021 at 1:00pm to 2:15pm

G-01 Stimson Hall

For many Cubans, Fidel Castro’s Revolution represented deliverance from a legacy of inequality and national disappointment. For others—especially those exiled in the United States—Cuba’s turn to socialism made the prerevolutionary period look like paradise lost. Michael J. Bustamante unsettles this familiar schism by excavating Cubans’ contested memories of the Revolution’s roots and results over its first twenty years. Cubans’ battles over the past, he argues, not only defied simple political divisions; they also helped shape the course of Cuban history itself. Hybrid event, join us in person in Stimson Hall G01 or through zoom.
