Where:
Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum, 600 S. Gregory Street, U
When:
Thursday Nov 13, 2008 4:00 pm
to 5:30 pm
Description:
Dr. Louis Perez, J. Carlyle Sitterson Professor of History at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, will provide an overview of the interaction, or "special relations," between Cubans and North Americans spanning the late nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century. This relationship will be seen from both the perspective of how North Americans came to know Cubans, and vice versa, how Cubans have come to know and represent North Americans. The emphasis is on popular culture and consumption, advancing the argument that these were conditions central to the climate that greeted the triumph of the revolution in 1959.For more information:
