Beskrivning
Undisciplined Cuba brings scholars of diverse disciplines and moves through multiple temporalities and geographies, allowing Cuba to emerge as a negotiated reality. Rather than rehearse narratives of exceptionalism and Cold War relationships that have detached the nation from its Antillean neighbors, this edited volume understands Cuba as deeply embedded in the Caribbean archipelago. Its chapters encompass feminist activism, public health, cinema for social justice, marine geopoetics, racial geographies, and literary corporealities. Drawing from an archipelagic framework and a decolonial practice of undisciplining, the anthology counters the tendency to treat landscapes, and cultural and political manifestations as artifacts of a national identity or evidence of a discrete geopolitical entity. Instead, Undisciplined Cuba attends to processes, to dynamic relations and continuities of resistance that defy periodization and institutional representation. The book offers a granular view of Cuba and an approach to Caribbean studies that imagines networks in excess of traditional categories of thought.

Recensioner i media

"A wonderfully wide-ranging and genuinely interdisciplinary collection, bringing distinctive methods and subjects into conversation rather than forcing Cuba into a single interpretive frame. At a moment of profound crisis, when confident pronouncements about Cuba's past, present, and future abound, this volume models intellectual humility, a determination to unsettle familiar categories, and a commitment to examining Cuba's multilayered realities in all their complexity." - Michael J. Bustamante, Emilio Bacardí Moreau Chair in Cuban and Cuban-American Studies, University of Miami"Undisciplined Cuba provides a kaleidoscopic view of Cuban history, culture, and society. Employing multiple perspectives and research methods, the volume's contributors make insightful interventions in the field of Cuban studies. They illuminate a wide range of issues, from racial discrimination to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the island." - Jorge Duany, former director, Cuban Research Institute, Florida International University
