Pedro is touring with AfroCubaWeb in the US. Pedro Perez Sarduy is presenting his latest work, Afro-Cuban Voices: on Race and Identity in Contemporary Cuba, as well as his multi-media seminar, "Race & Identity in Cuba 2000". He also has a conference on his novel, Las Criadas de La Habana. See his schedule.
From the forewords for "AfroCuban Voices":
"At a time when Cuba is undergoing immense economic and social changes, race becomes a kind of cultural litmus test for the national identity. . . . This anthology illustrates fully that it is possible to be both revolutionary and black in Cuba." -- Manning Marable, Columbia University
"The authors of Afro-Cuban Voices, also key actors in the new, unfolding dialogue about race in Cuba, make a seminal contribution through a forthright critique of racial blind spots in official history and present-day racial discrimination." -- James Early, director of cultural studies and communication, Smithsonian Institution
