""Our Cuba: Contextualizing a Vibrant History constitutes a rigorous scholarly exploration of Cuba's historical, legal, socio-political, and cultural evolution, presented authentically through Cuban academic lenses. It is a unique and timely anthology about a country that has endured the hardship of an American embargo for over 60 years. The book meticulously addresses prevailing misconceptions, employing critical analyses grounded firmly in empirical research and the lived realities of its contributors. Its editorial collaboration between Cuban and Canadian scholars uniquely bridges national and international academic dialogues, providing nuanced insights into transculturation, resilience, and resistance amidst external pressures. By situating Cuban experiences within broader academic discourses, this publication emerges as an essential resource for scholars and researchers committed to a comprehensive understanding of Cuba."" --- Dr. Vasiliki Artinopoulou, Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, Athens ""Our Cuba will move hearts and minds about Cuban history and the harsh necessity of ongoing resistance by the Cuban people to intervention by the United States. It is a welcome and timely academic reader. A superb collection of Cuban intellectual voices is brought together in English through cooperation between Canadian and Cuban editors. It is a veritable tour de force that documents the blockade and exposes its neocolonial underbelly. Highly detailed, well-researched, erudite! An indispensable source of knowledge about the Cuban people's long struggle for self-determination in the shadow of sleeping giants. It shows that Cuba is itself a sleeping giant whose strength lies in progressive social politics, inclusion, education, and a shared belief in the global future."" ---Roxanne Rimstead, University of Sherbrooke
