Cuba Old And New (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162658940)

Cuba Old and New is a comprehensive book that provides a detailed account of the history, culture, and society of Cuba. Written by Albert Gardner Robinson, the book covers a wide range of topics, including the pre-Columbian era, the Spanish colonial period, the struggle for independence, the revolution, and the post-revolutionary period. The book delves into the rich cultural heritage of Cuba, including its music, art, literature, and architecture. It also explores the social and economic issues that have shaped the country, including slavery, race relations, and the impact of US intervention. Robinson provides a nuanced and balanced view of Cuba, highlighting both its achievements and challenges. He examines the country's political system, including the role of Fidel Castro and the Communist Party, and the challenges facing Cuba in the post-Soviet era. The book is well-researched and includes numerous quotes, anecdotes, and primary sources. It is also well-illustrated with photographs, maps, and diagrams. Overall, Cuba Old and New is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Cuba, as well as its current political and social landscape.The next city, eastward, is Camaguey, in many ways doubtless the best worth a visit, next to Havana, of any city on the island. It is a place of interesting history and, for me personally, a place of somewhat mixed recollections. The history may wait until I have told my story. I think it must have been on my third visit to the island, early in 1902. On my arrival in Havana, I met my friend Charles M. Pepper, a fellow laborer in the newspaper field. He at once informed me that he and I were to start the next morning for a three or four weeks' journey around the island.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
