Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rum. Tobacco. Women. Only sin pays in Cuba.Yaminalina tells the story of Yami, a young woman growing up in Cuba during one of the island's most difficult periods. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1989, Cuba descended into levels of poverty and isolation never seen before. The United States responded by tightening the embargo, hoping to provoke a hunger rebellion. At the worst possible moment, a series of storms battered the island, destroying buildings, crops, and livestock. To prevent the total collapse of the economy, Castro legalized the dollar, creating a contradictory monetary system in which salaries were paid in pesos, but everything worth buying was sold in dollars. Under these conditions, sex tourism flourished, giving rise to the women known as jineteras. Yami embodies these women: young, bright, talented, cultured, and desperate.Yami's hardships begin when her father abandons the family during the Mariel boatlift. Her mother remarries and sends her to live with her grandparents in a small sugar town. Yami attends a boarding school in the countryside, where she suffers sexual abuse at the hands of her teacher and mentor. Despite the hardships, she graduates with honors and gains admission to one of the most prestigious preparatory schools in the country. There, she discovers her passion for law and for Oiram, a classmate who shares her dreams. Although Yami and Oiram continue their studies at the University of Havana, their professional aspirations crumble in the face of the political and economic realities.With the perspective afforded by distance and time, Yami recounts her formative years, tracing her journey from an idealistic young woman yearning for a career, love, and family, to a shrewd businesswoman who comes to understand that female beauty is simply another perishable commodity in Castro's dystopian Cuba. With the perspective afforded by distance and time, Yaminalina recounts her formative years leading to her eventual descent into the world of sexual tourism in Castro's Cuba's.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Ron. Tabaco. Mujeres.En Cuba, solo el pecado paga bien.Yaminalina narra la vida de Yami, una joven que crece en Cuba durante uno de los periodos mas dificiles de la historia de la isla. Tras la disolucion de la Union Sovietica en 1989, Cuba cayo en la pobreza y el aislamiento. Estados Unidos respondio intensificando el embargo, con la esperanza de provocar una rebelion por hambre. En el peor momento posible, una serie de tormentas azotaron la isla, destruyendo edificios, cultivos y ganado. Para evitar el colapso total de la economia, Castro legalizo el dolar, creando un sistema monetario contradictorio en el que los sueldos se pagaban en pesos, pero todo lo que valia la pena comprar se vendia en dolares. En estas condiciones, florecio el turismo sexual, dando origen a las mujeres conocidas como jineteras. Yami encarna a estas mujeres: jovenes, brillantes, talentosas, cultas y desesperadas.Las dificultades de Yami comienzan cuando su padre abandona a la familia durante el exodo de Mariel. Su madre se vuelve a casar y la envia a vivir con sus abuelos en un pequeno pueblo azucarero. Yami tiene que cursar la secundaria internada en una escuela en el campo, donde sufre abusos sexuales a manos de su profesor y mentor. A pesar de sus penurias, se gradua con honores y consigue ingresar en una de las escuelas preparatorias mas prestigiosas del pais. Alli descubre su pasion por el derecho y por Oiram, un companero que comparte sus suenos. Aunque Yami y Oiram continuan sus estudios en la Universidad de La Habana, sus aspiraciones profesionales se desmoronan ante la realidad politica y economica. Con la perspectiva que le brinda la distancia y el tiempo, Yami relata sus anos de formacion, trazando su trayectoria desde una joven idealista que anhela carrera, amor y familia, hasta una astuta empresaria que llega a comprender que la belleza femenina es simplemente otro bien perecedero en la Cuba distopica de Castro. Con la perspectiva que brindan la distancia y el tiempo, Yami narra sus anos de formacion y su eventual caida en el jineterismo durante el Periodo Especial de Cuba. This item is printed on demand.
