Omschrijving
Drawing from art, literature, film, and even the national sport of baseball, the author reveals the Cuban fiesta as a dynamic force of both destruction and renewal in the life of a people. He exposes the distinctive elements of the fiesta cubana that give depth and coherence to more than two centuries of Cuban cultural life.
"'As a mediator between Spanish language and English language literatures, Echevarria is beyond comparison.' (Harold Bloom) 'This book shows us the exhilarating extravaganza of Cuba's culture...' (Michael Kerrigan, The Scotsman)"
