This diverse collection, mostly by Cubans, takes in not only history, journalism and literature but also songs, paintings, poems and poltical cartoons, speeches, and government documents. Organized chronologically, it's a multi-faceted -- and fascinating -- portrait of the Cuban experience. With selections by Jose Martí, Fernando Ortiz, Fidel Castro, Alejo Carpentier, Che Guevera, Reinaldo Arenas and many others. Editor Avi Chomsky, who teaches a course The Cuban Revolution in Historical and Cultural Context at Salem State College, has lead a number of student trips to Cuba.  (CBA93, $27.95)
