A Promising Reality: Reflections on Race, Gender, and Culture in Cuba
is a compilation of the reflections of a group of chief diversity
officers, faculty, and educators from the United States about Cuba. As
part of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher
Education delegation to Cuba in July, 2015, A Promising Reality
represents a collection of voices, experiences, and perspectives about
issues of race, gender, cultural identity, and the African experience
in Cuba. Key themes explored include Cuban culture, the Cuban
Revolution, politics, economics, education, equity, and social change.
Utilizing narrative inquiry, some of the reflections are comparative
with the United States, and some reflections focus exclusively on
Cuba. The book takes readers on a journey of thought-provoking stories
that reflect the excitement, uncertainty, complexity, and promising
possibilities on the cusp of changing diplomatic, political, economic,
and social relationships between the United States and Cuba. A
Promising Reality seeks to broaden the perspectives of its readers
regarding US-Cuban relations. This book is ideal for courses on
international relations, international studies, international affairs,
comparative cultures, political science, education, politics,
sociology, history, race, gender, and social justice. It is a
must-read for anyone traveling to Cuba as part of study-abroad,
professional development, or personal adventure.
