Specificatii
Soulfully researched and elegantly written, the personal and the
critical converge into a reading of Cuban American memoirs by
one-and-a-halfers, those in a generation who left the island in
childhood and early adolescence. Eliana S. Rivero, author of
Discursos desde la diaspora Timely and salient. In addition to
tracing the trajectory of narratives of return, this study puts
into relief the idea that there is no singular process of return.
Andrea O Reilly Herrera, author of Cuban Artists across the
Diaspora: Setting the Tent against the House Outstanding. Lopez s
interpretation of the narratives of the emigre s real or imagined
returns to their homeland is insightful, sensitive, well
documented, and informed by current debates about diasporas, exile,
transnationalism, and identity. Jorge Duany, author of Blurred
Borders: Transnational Migration between the Hispanic Caribbean and
the United States While the stories and resettlement patterns of
Cubans who have left their home island have been widely documented,
the subject of return in the Cuban diaspora remains understudied.
In this one-of-a-kind volume, Iraida Lopez explores various
narratives of return by those who left Cuba as children or
adolescents. Including memoirs, semi-autobiographical fiction, and
visual arts, many of these accounts feature a physical arrival on
the island while others depict a metaphorical or vicarious
experience by means of fictional characters or childhood
reminiscences. As two-way migration increases in the post-Cold War
period, many of these narratives put to the test the boundaries of
national identity. Through a critical reading of works by Cuban
American artists and writers like Maria Brito, Ruth Behar, Carlos
Eire, Cristina Garcia, Ana Mendieta, Gustavo Perez Firmat, Ernesto
Pujol, Achy Obejas, and Ana Menendez, Lopez highlights the
affective ties as well as the tensions underlying the relationship
between returning subjects and their native country. Impossible
Returns also looks at how Cubans still living on the island depict
returning emigres in their own narratives, addressing works by
Jesus Diaz, Humberto Solas, Carlos Acosta, Nancy Alonso, Leonardo
Padura, and others. Blurring the lines between disciplines and
geographic borders, this book underscores the centrality of Cuba
for its diaspora and bears implications for other countries with
widespread populations in exile.
