New Releases by Cristina Garcia

In the years since Fidel Castro came to power, the migration of close to one million Cubans to the United States continues to remain one of the most fascinating, unusual, and controversial movements in American history. María Cristina García—a Cuban refugee raised in Miami—has experienced firsthand many of the developments she describes, and has written the most comprehensive and revealing account of the postrevolutionary Cuban migration to date. García deftly navigates the dichotomies and similarities between cultures and among generations. Her exploration of the complicated realm of Cuban American identity sets a new standard in social and cultural history.

Cubans call them cacharros: the gorgeous old American cars of the ''40s and ''50s that can be found throughout the country. There are classic Chevrolets, Fords, Lincolns, Cadillacs, Packards, Oldsmobiles, Buicks, De Sotos, Dodges, Pontiacs, Studebakers, Thunderbirds, Ramblers, and more, all from Detroit''s golden age and all still on the road. Cars of Cuba - with an introduction by Cristina Garcia, author of the novel Dreaming in Cuban, and fifty-three color photographs by Joshua Greene - is a visit to the greatest American car museum in the world!

Esta obra é um poderoso estudo sobre as escritoras Virginia Woolf, Laura Esquivel e Nélida Piñon e suas obras, a partir da incomum relação entre a escrita e os alimentos, entre os sabores e os saberes da literatura feminina. Uma narrativa marcante, em estilo simples e quase coloquial, prende a atenção do leitor e o leva a esmiuçar meandros antes não percorridos.
