About the Author

Frank Andre Guridy is assistant professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin.

From the Inside Flap

Guridy explores the unique relationship between Afro-descended populations in Cuba and the United States, demonstrating that the cross-national relationships nurtured by Afro-Cubans and black Americans helped to shape the political strategies of both groups as they attempted to overcome a shared history of oppression and enslavement. As a result of these relationships, argues Guridy, Afro-descended peoples in Cuba and the United States came to identify themselves as part of a transcultural African diaspora.
