Contents The Cuban past's presence/presents -- Origin stories of revolution, exorcism of the past -- Cuban exiles and the search for "total unity" -- Remembering (through) Girón -- Antinostalgias in an exile age of fracture -- Anniversary overload? Memory fatigue at Cuba's socialist apex -- Confronting return -- Inconsolable memories.
Summary "For many Cubans, Fidel Castro's Revolution represented deliverance from a legacy of inequality and national disappointment. For others-especially those exiled in the United States-Cuba's turn to socialism made the prerevolutionary period look like paradise lost. Michael J. Bustamante unsettles this familiar schism by excavating Cubans' contested memories of the Revolution's roots and results over its first twenty years"-- Provided by publisher.
