This volume provides an introduction to an innovative collaborative project launched in 2007 by scholars at the University of Florence and the University of Toronto. There are immediate rewards here – in the 21 chapters that explore wide-ranging features of Cuban history, politics, and culture. There are also signposts that point to future insights and illuminations that will be made possible by the utilization of a symmetrical Cuba in the World/The World in Cuba approach to the study of the island’s relationship to global dynamics in the modern era. On one hand, ongoing collaboration of this nature is certain to yield studies that continue to enrich understandings of specific Cuban experiences. On the other hand, there will also be increasing attention to what those Cuban experiences can tell us about developments elsewhere in Latin America and the Caribbean, in North America, and beyond – in short, about world history.
