Cubans from various waves of the migration and their descendants piece together a complex mosaic of the exile experience and diasporic identity. Join Andrea Herrea in discussing her book of testimonies that offer different perspectives on Cuban diaspora and what it means to be Cuban in exile.

Visit Cuba with Professor Gail Gelburd, chair of the Visual Arts Department, who will be leading an exciting and informative Global Field Course to Cuba in May 2012. Travel with Professor Gelburd, who has been visiting Cuba for 20 years, and other Eastern students to learn about the history, art and culture of Cuba. You will also have the rare opportunity to go behind the scenes to visit Cuban artists in their homes and studios.
