Essays on Cuba and the Cuban diaspora, on racism and big data, Guantánamo and reggaeton, soccer and baseball, Obama and the Rolling Stones, Europe and Donald Trump-Iván de la Nuez approaches his criticism with singularity of purpose. In Cubanthropy he does not set out to explain Cuba to the world, but rather to put the world into a Cuban context. In these sparkling essays, filled with erudition and humor, de la Nuez confronts the thicket of Cuban geopolitics, examines what history absolves, and speculates on the future of the island.
