Louis A. Perez Jr. is one of the most influential historians of
Cuba. Available for the first time as an Omnibus Ebook edition,
this three-volume set brings together three of Perez's most
acclaimed works on Cuba and its relations to the United States.
This Omnibus Ebook contains:
The War of 1898 presents both a critique of the conventional
historiography and an alternate history of the war that is informed
by Cuban sources.
On Becoming Cuban explores the rich cultural ties between
Cuba and the United States and reveals their startling influence on
the way Cubans see themselves as a people and as a nation.
Cuba in the American Imagination describes how for more than
two hundred often turbulent years, Americans have imagined and
described Cuba and its relationship to the United States by
conjuring up a variety of striking images--Cuba as a woman, a
neighbor, a ripe fruit, a child learning to ride a bicycle. Perez
Jr. offers a revealing history of these metaphorical and depictive
motifs and discovers the powerful motives behind such
characterizations of the island.
