In the United States, Barack Obama's opening to Cuba, the reversal of that policy during Donald Trump's administration, and Joseph Biden's apparent willingness to reinitiate open relations have made the nature of the historic relationship between the two nations a subject of debate once more. In both countries, the time is ripe for a new reckoning with Cuba's history and its relationship to the United States. Now, award-winning historian Ada Ferrer delivers an ambitious and moving chronicle of more than five hundred years of Cuban history, reconceived and written for a moment when history itself seems up for grabs. Starting on the eve of the arrival of Columbus and ending with the 2020 US presidential election, Cuba: An American History provides us with a front-row seat as we witness the evolution of modern Cuba, with its dramatic history of conquest and colonization, of slavery and freedom, of independence and revolutions made and unmade. Throughout, Ferrer explores the sometimes surprising, often troubled intimacy between Cuba and its neighbor to the north, documenting not only the influence of the United States on Cuba but also the many ways Cuba has been a recurring presence in US affairs. This, then, is a story of Cuba that will also give American readers unexpected insights into the history of their own country. Filled with rousing stories and characters, and drawing on over thirty years of research in Cuba, Spain, and the United States-as well as the author's own extensive travel in Cuba over the same period-this is a stunning and monumental history of Cuba like no other"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 Intro -- Title Page -- Dedication -- Prologue: There and Here -- Part I: Dispatches from The First America -- Chapter 1: Heaven and Hell -- Chapter 2: Key to the Indies -- Chapter 3: Copper Virgin -- Part II: A Colony Worth a Kingdom -- Chapter 4: Havana for Florida -- Chapter 5: Most Favored Nation -- Chapter 6: Sugar's Revolution -- Part III: An Empire for Slavery -- Chapter 7: Adams's Apple -- Chapter 8: Torture Plots -- Chapter 9: Dreams of Dominion -- Chapter 10: Civil War Journeys -- Part IV: ¡Cuba Libre! -- Chapter 11: Slave, Soldier, Citizen -- Chapter 12: A Revolution for the World 505 8 Part V: American Interregnum -- Chapter 13: A War Renamed -- Chapter 14: Island Occupied -- Part VI: Strange Republic -- Chapter 15: Empire of Sugar -- Chapter 16: City of Dreams -- Chapter 17: Fratricide -- Chapter 18: Boom, Crash, Awake -- Part VII: Republic, Take Two -- Chapter 19: Authentic Masses -- Chapter 20: New Charter -- Chapter 21: Suitcases -- Part VIII: Origin Stories -- Chapter 22: Centennial Spirit -- Chapter 23: Insurrectionary Line -- Chapter 24: The Mountains Rise -- Part IX: The Revolution Begins Now! -- Chapter 25: First Time -- Chapter 26: Radical Nonstop 505 8 Part X: Confrontation -- Chapter 27: Battle -- Chapter 28: Brink -- Part XI: Hearts and Minds -- Chapter 29: New People? -- Chapter 30: New Americans? -- Chapter 31: Other Cubas? -- Part XII: Departures -- Chapter 32: Special Years -- Chapter 33: Open and Shut -- Epilogue: If Monuments Could Speak -- Photographs -- Acknowledgments -- About the Author -- Notes -- Index -- Image Credits -- Copyright 533 Electronic reproduction. |bAnn Arbor, MI |nAvailable via World Wide Web. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 20, 2021). 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 651 0 Cuba |xHistory. 651 0 Cuba |xForeign relations |zUnited States. 651 0 United States |xForeign relations |zCuba. 650 7 Diplomatic relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01907412 651 7 Cuba. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01205805 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 710 2 ProQuest (Firm) 776 08 |iPrint version:Ferrer, Ada. |tCuba |bFirst Scribner hardcover edition. |dNew York ; London : Scribner, 2021 |z9781501154553 |w(DLC) 2021020533 910 |cF1104ebk |d3110-17 |gYBP 910 |cE9994-Latiebk |d3110-17 |gYBP |h551109 910 |cE9994-Clasebk |d3110-17 |gYBP |h574865 956 40 |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/Princeton/detail.action?docID=6687590 960 |o1 |v3 users ; notify Ingrid Brioso (ingridb@princeton.edu) |zUSD 961 |fFAR |hPQE3U |iPQE |j3U |m311017 |neBook 961 |hPQE3U |iPQE |j3U |kPrinceton permanent acquisition 980 |i144.00 980 302364531 |bPOL-24871 |i144.00 |j144.00 |n99992517182 980 302364531 |bPOL-208852 |i144.00 |j144.00 |n99992707718 982 |celf3 984 20211013 |b163001 |cYBP-US
