Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2019. 408 pp. There are moments in history that, more so than the patterns of most years or decades, expose both societal fissures and the strength of the ties that prevent societies from ripping apart. We do not yet have the benefit of much hindsight, but 2020 was almost certainly one such moment—for the globe, but possibly for the United States and Cuba in particular. The novel coronavirus wreaked havoc worldwide, reaching pandemic status in March in the United States and Cuba. In late May, police in Minneapolis killed a black man named George Floyd; in late June, police in Guanabacoa killed a black man named Hansel Ernesto Hernández Galiano. In the last months of 2020, the Cuban artists' collective San Isidro went on hunger strike after one of its own was arrested. In late November, members managed to film part of a police raid on the collective's apartment in Old Havana. San Isidro provoked islandwide conversations about freedom of expression and censorship in Cuba, and the Cuban government even agreed to meet with members of the collective. In January 2021, white supremacists stormed the US Capitol in the deluded hope of maintaining Donald Trump's grip on the executive branch; as a result, Trump became the first president in US history to be impeached twice. Events like these warrant a true reckoning. It's insufficient to ask, Why did this happen? without asking What does it mean that this happened here? The United States must grapple with the partisan divisions that have led to such an inadequate response to the COVID-19 crisis and an attempted coup d'état; and Cuba must grapple with a new threat to the government's hegemony when faced with an increasingly digitized citizenry. These seem like turning points, moments at which the choices each nation makes could fundamentally change its future trajectory. The identification of turning points suggests that most moments are not turning points but rather the fulfillment of patterns that have long existed— worth writing about but less consequential than, say, 2020. But what if there are more turning points than we've previously assumed? What if we have overlooked some crucial moments in the formations of the United States and Cuba? The three books reviewed here cover well-worn territory chronologically; [End Page 437] there is no shortage of books about the American Civil War, or a dearth of information on the hundred years between 1812 and 1912 in Cuba. But the contributions of these books extend beyond the periods they cover. By delving into the global politics of the nineteenth century, rooting geographically not just in Cuba but also in Spain, New York City, Florida, and the American South, they show us that the nineteenth century was not just the century that Cuba came into being as a nation. In that century, Spain, the United States and Cuba helped to create one another. Breaking the Chains, Forging the Nation, The Second American Revolution, and Racial Migrations breathe new life into moments that we thought we understood. At the heart of each book is a familiar theme: the place of Africa-descended people in American societies. But these authors have surpassed the familiar to unveil new connections and histories that transform how we think about in..." @default.
