Reyita: The Life of a Black Cuban Woman in the Twentieth Century

"This joyous, amusing, and self-reflective blending of personal, family, and community life is a splendid example of the testimonio genre which Cuban authors have pioneered. Like Miguel Barnet's classic "Autobiography of a Runaway Slave" this book is obligatory reading for those of us interested in life histories, racism, subaltern studies, and Latin American history."--Barry Carr, La Trobe University
