"The multidisciplinary approaches … will appeal to a variety of readers interested in the rich cultural production by Cuban exiles everywhere." — CHOICE"This book is outstanding: it addresses Cuban diaspora from multiple locations; it goes beyond the usual reductionist perspectives; and it reflects the community's diversity by contesting prevalent media, scholarly, and stereotypical representations." — Delia Poey, author of Latino American Literature in the Classroom: The Politics of Transformation"Multiple voices reflect on Cubanía (Cubanness), more often than not from a postmodern transcultural perspective. As a result, the book acquires a dynamic, collage effect, impacting the reader intellectually as well as emotionally." — Jorge Febles, University of North Florida
