"Cuban migration to the United States has altered the face of American politics and demographics. From Welcomed Exiles to Illegal Immigrants, the only scholarly study available of this Cuban migration, analyzes its political dynamics and unique character. In this revised and expanded edition of his 1988 book With Open Arms, Masud-Piloto here extends the discussion with an examination of the Bush and Clinton administrations' responses to recent events in Cuba. Masud-Piloto, an expert on Cuban and Caribbean migrations and a Cuban emigre himself, draws on previously unavailable documents, as well as his first-hand experience, to describe American attempts to destabilize the Castro government by draining Cuba of vitally needed teachers, physicians, and technicians, and to embarrass the revolution by exposing the flight of Cuba's citizens to a "free" country. Masud-Piloto's examination of the Haitian and Central American refugee crises of the past two decades provides a useful comparative perspective." --Book Jacket.
Based on hundreds of interviews conducted over many years in 28 countries, including extensive personal interviews with Castro himself, Georgie Anne Geyer reveals the untold story of Fidel Castro in this definitive biography.
Comparire in società, vestire a modo, scambiare convenevoli e parole di circostanza: chi vorrebbe sottoporsi a un simile supplizio, quando fuori ci sono giganti dalle braccia rotanti da affrontare ed eserciti nemici da sconfiggere? Appassionato lettore di romanzi di cavalleria e nobile dalla scarsa fortuna, Alonso Quijano decide di affidarsi alla fantasia. Assume il nome di don Chisciotte e sale a cavallo di un pacifico ronzino: insieme a Sancio Panza, prima contadino e ora scudiero sull'asinello, intende compiere grandi imprese, conquistando l'amore della bellissima Dulcinea del Toboso. Romanzo fondante della letteratura spagnola ed europea, il "Don Chisciotte" è il grido che rifiuta la volgarità e la banalità del reale; il canto dell'uomo che, grazie alla fantasia o forse alla follia, vive finalmente le grandi avventure a cui ognuno dovrebbe essere destinato.
Geyer reveals the untold story of Fidel Castro, based on hundreds of interviews conducted over many years in 28 countries, including extensive personal interviews with Castro himself. A new preface and an epilogue incorporate all of the changes since the book's original 1991 publication. Photos.
