"As Kennedy explains, this collection of essays
and photographs by Cubans, Cubans in exile and interested Americans
isn't so much about the politics of Cuba as 'the consequence of
politics to Cuba.' While its structure is simple enough-short essays
on themes like spirituality, the new middle class and rural life
coupled with sets of photos, introduced by artists' statements-its
texture is delightfully varied and idiosyncratic. . . The kaleidoscope
of images - Virginia Beahan's breathtakingly empty landscapes, Sylvia
Plachy's vibrant urban scenes, Abelardo Morell's haunting camera
obscura projections of cityscapes on interiors-will open readers'
eyes to a country not so much 'third world' as 'other world.'"
