Recenzii
“This is a necessary book, not only for the evident quality of its research but also for its contribution toward broadening the scope of Cuban studies.”
—José Quiroga, Emory University
“In this definitive study of Guantánamera cultural production, Whitfield highlights not divisions but the site’s environmental commonalities, unexpected and asymmetric connections, and moments of care and beauty. The fascinating, little-known stories of creativity and life illuminated here map a potential postconflict terrain—one already blooming in the fissures of the ostensible no-man’s-land.”
—Rachel Price, Princeton University
“Bringing together archives from the Cuban region of Guantánamo and its role in the War on Terror, Whitfield traces intimacies and themes that echo across this fraught space. A New No-Man’s-Land’s careful analysis of Spanish and Anglophone local and transnational texts offers a vital corrective to singular readings of Guantánamo since it first began housing War on Terror detainees in 2002. Be sure to read to the end.”
—Alexandra S. Moore, Binghamton University
“This outstanding book humanizes one of the most complex areas of the world in the last decades. The excellent research and elegant, measured prose reveal the human cost involved in indefinite isolation and extreme vulnerability, the intimacies that arise in the process, and the value of artistic expression to remain human even in inhuman conditions.”
