“In this subtle and beautifully crafted ethnography, Cearns invites us to travel through the many Cuban circuits of exchange that give shape to mutating histories of connection within and between Havana and Miami.

The result is an exhilarating and illuminating journey into the changing contours and expansive terrain of contemporary cubanidad.”
