Description
This is the first comprehensive history of the culturally diverse city, and the first to be co-authored by a Cuban and an American. Beginning with the founding of Havana in 1519, Cluster and Hernandez explore the making of the city and its people through revolutions, art, economic development and the interplay of diverse societies.
