1. Full disclosure: I evaluated this edited collection before publication for the University of Notre Dame Press.
2. One minor detail: Fidel Castro's hometown was not Bayamo but Birán, not far from Cueto and Mayarí, both immortalized in the song “Chan Chan” by the Buena Vista Social Club.
3. I served as reader for the University Press of Florida for the original manuscript of this volume. I was as impressed with it then as I am now.
4. The return visits of Cuban Americans, who turned out not to be gusanos (worms)—the dehumanizing label given to them by the Cuban government—but instead mariposas (butterflies), as they were relabeled with typical Cuban humor, in part sparked the emigrations of 1979–1989.
