520    "In a bumpy, anxiety-producing plane ride across the 
       Straits of Florida to Cuba in 1979, graduate student 
       Gerald Poyo knew his life would either end that day in the
       World War II-era prop airplane or change forever. He 
       survived the trip, and his ten-day visit solidified his 
       academic research and confirmed his career as a history 
       professor. In this wide-ranging examination of his 
       relatives' migrations in the Western Hemisphere -- the 
       Americas -- over five generations, Poyo uses his training 
       as a historian to unearth his family's stories. Beginning 
       with his great-great grandfather's flight from Cuba to Key
       West in 1869, this is also about the loss of a beloved 
       homeland. His father was Cuban; his mother was from Flint,
       Michigan. Poyo himself was six months old when his parents
       took him to Bogotá, Colombia. He celebrated his eighth 
       birthday in New Jersey and his tenth in Venezuela. He was 
       12 when he landed in Buenos Aires, where he spent his 
       formative years before returning to the United States for 
       college. 'My heart belonged to the south, but somehow I 
       knew I could not escape the north,' he writes. 
       Transnationalism shaped his life and identity. Divided 
       into two parts, the first section traces his parents and 
       ancestors as he links their stories to impersonal 
       movements in the world -- Spanish colonialism, Cuban 
       nationalism, United States expansionism -- that influenced
       their lives. The second half explores how exile, migration
       and growing up a 'hemispheric American, a borderless 
       American' impacted his own development and stimulated 
       questions about poverty, religion and relations between 
       Latin America and the United States. Ultimately, this 
       thought-provoking memoir unveils the universal desire for 
       a safe, stable life for one's family"--|cProvided by
