CUBA BEYOND THE BEACH: STORIES OF LIFE IN HAVANA

Book ID/图书代码： 01808017C00001

English Summary/英文概要： Havana is Cuba’s soul: a mix of Third World, First World, and Other World. After over a decade of visits as a teacher, researcher, and friend, Karen Dubinsky looks past political slogans and tourist postcards to the streets, neighbourhoods, and personalities of a complicated and contradictory city. Her affectionate, humorous vignettes illustrate how Havana’s residents—old Communist ladies, their sceptical offspring, musicians, underground vendors, entrepreneurial landlords, and poverty-stricken professors—go about their daily lives. As Cuba undergoes dramatic change, there is much to appreciate, and learn from, in the unlikely world Cubans have collectively built for themselves. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to the Queen’s University Student Overseas Travel Fund - The Sonia Enjamio Fund, which funds Cuban/Canadian student exchange.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 哈瓦那是古巴的灵魂：第三世界，第一世界和其他世界的混合体。作为一位教师、研究员和朋友，在经过超过十年的访问后，凯伦杜宾斯基在街道和居民区看到过去的政治口号和旅游明信片，以及一个复杂而又矛盾的城市个性。她情切而又幽默的片段描绘了哈瓦那的居民——老年的共产主义妇女，她们持怀疑态度的后代，音乐家，地下小摊贩，企业业主和贫困的教授——是如何继续他们的日常生活的。正如古巴正在进行着巨变，我们有很多东西可以欣赏和学习，在这个不太可能的世界里，古巴人已经集体为他们自己建造。出售这本书所得的利益的一部分我们将用作女王大学学生的海外留学基金——Sonia Enjamio基金，它将资助古巴和加拿大的学生交流。（ZT）

Dubinsky’s realistic sense of humour lets her see a Havana that re-evolutionizes, re-invents, and re-circulates everyone in the underground studio of our daily life. – Telmary, Hip-hop artist, singer, spoken word poet, Havana Karen Dubinsky’s book is entertaining, educating, anecdotal and a pleasure to pick up and read. She gets the Cuban psyche head on. She knows so much about Cuba yet understands that the more you think you understand Cuba, the less you really know. This is an ultimate travel preparatory book. As practically a Havana resident, I still learned and revelled on shared experiences. – Judy Gallant Co-Owner P&G Travel Toronto and Havana Cuba beyond the Beach is one of those books that should be devoured by everyone interested in that mysterious island, and anyone else who simply enjoys a great read. – Margaret Randall, author of Che on My Mind and Only the Road/Solo El Camino: Eight Decades of Cuban Poetry With a trained eye for the devil in the details and a lover’s enthusiasm for the music, Karen Dubinsky distills memory and research into an up-to-date, insider-outsider portrait of this exceptional place. She sketches out a wealth of details that capture the surrealism of daily life in Cuba and will inform tomorrow’s historians. Cuba beyond the Beach rings true and reads fast. – Ned Sublette, author of Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo
