Cuba in Transition: Traveling Alone in One of the Most Interesting Countries Today

In December 2014 Cuba and the United States renewed diplomatic relations. In the months to follow, the world waits aghast for big changes that will shake the Caribbean island out of its stagnant, romanticized, horrifying sleep. But on the streets of Havana, in the beach bungalows of Varadero and on the outskirts of sleepy small towns across Cuba, a generation of Cubans is already redefining its place in the world in a myriad of creative and unglamorous ways. Treasures often too small for the journalistic lens; only a lone traveler with a keen eye for detail and a notebook in hand can bring them back.

Part travel journal, part meditation on Cuba today and tomorrow, and part guide for the lone traveler, this book will give you a truthful and unforgettable impression of one of the most interesting countries today, before politics and globalization change it forever.
