by Iv疣 de la Nuez (Author), Ellen Jones (Translator)

Cuban art critic and curator Iv疣 de la Nuez explores the effects of the policies that have tried to constrain or liberate Cuba in recent decades in these sparkling essays of cultural criticism.

Essays on Cuba and the Cuban diaspora, on racism and Big Data, Guant疣amo and Reggaeton, soccer and baseball, Obama and the Rolling Stones, Europe and Donald Trump--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.

"Nothing explains our vexed world quite like Cuba and no one anywhere writes more brilliantly, more prophetically, more impossibly than Iv疣 de la Nuez. As in all of his finest work, Cubanthropy delivers you beyond your old horizons into a realm of startling possibilities. Do not miss this extraordinary book or this extraordinary warlock of a writer." --Junot D?z, author of This Is How You Lose Her

"Cubanthropy may just be the smartest writing on Cuba--and beyond--I've read in ages. Insightful, unsparing, funny, and with an unerring eye for the paradoxical, Iv疣 de la Nuez has written the definitive compilation on 21st-century Cuba. Essential reading for all who care about how the past, present, and future are disturbingly converging on the island, and off." --Cristina Garc?, author of forthcoming Vanishing Maps
