Identity, Memory, and Diaspora: Voices of Cuban-American Artists, Writers, and Philosophers

Jorge J. E. Gracia, Lynette Bosch, and Isabel Alvarez Borland ed.
State University of New York Press Albany, New York 2007

This fascinating volume contains interviews with nineteen prominent Cuban-American  artists, writers, and philosophers who tell their stories and share what they  consider important for understanding their work. Struggling with issues of  Cuban-American identity in particular and social identity in general, they  explore such questions as how they see themselves, how they have dealt with the  diaspora and their memories, what they have done to find a proper place in  their adopted country, and how their work has been influenced by the  experience. Their answers reveal different perspectives on art, literature, and  philosophy, and the different challenges encountered personally and  professionally. The interviews are gathered into three groups: nine artists,  six writers, and four philosophers. An introductory essay for each group is  included, and the interviews are accompanied by brief biographical notes, along  with samples of the work of those interviewed.
