Muchísimas, pero muchísimas gracias a mis mentores Alejandro Murguía and Molly Giles, for their extraordinary guidance, and to my mother for her encouragement, help and knowledge. This book would have said much less were it not for poet Miguel Angel Flores; Mary Liz Thomson, Mat Callahan, Robin Balliger and Peter Plate from the former Komotion International collective; Silvia y Adriana Florez López, Jesus Aristi y todos los poetas e intelectuales de la Missión, a hearty abrazo. Much gratitude also to my editors Beth Saunders, Eric Robertson and Kitty Costello; to Marcy Rein; Suzie Dodd Thomas y Piri Thomas; poets Abena Songbird and Clifton Ross and the rest of the authors at the Freedom Voices col- lective; Peter Najarian, for first teaching me to really write; Ron Kane and Susan Chasson, for teaching me to really live; Karen Wald for making the whole adventure possible; Jacki Fox Ruby, Barry Fike and the Berkeley Federation of Teachers for safeguarding my “ownlife” that I might write; Luis J. Rodríguez for the faith; Maxine Chernoff and my former colleagues at the SFSU Creative Writing Department and my previous agent, Sandy Dijkstra.

A renegade bead fights its way through the woolly mane of hair I wish I’d pinned up and lands on my eyelash. Maybe it’s a last ditch effort to shut out the unsmiling Cuban official, now stand- ing directly before me. I wonder if he notices my fingers tremble slightly as I hand him my visa. “Passport?” My breath evaporates. “Could you do me a favor and not stamp it?” Under the Trading with the Enemy Act, the stamp could mean ten years imprisonment and a quarter of a million dollar fine for breaking the U.S. travel ban to Cuba. The official doesn’t respond as he cracks open the navy cover. Although this request was heeded during my first trip to Cuba two years ago as a tourist, this time stakes are too high to assume com- pliance. As a journalist I could probably slip through one of the U.S. loopholes. But the notion that I’ll be working for the “enemy” this time is a little more disconcerting.

The material support of the US government contributed to the globalization of the recording industry and functioned as a facet American-style consumerism. As American culture spread, so did questions about the Cold War and consumerism. As young people began to question the Cold War order they still consumed American mass culture as a way of rebelling against the establishment. But corporations complicit in the Cold War produced this mass culture. Punks embraced cultural rebellion like hippies.

  • Heavy Radicals
    WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HEAVY RADICALS Heavy Radicals is a concise and insightful history of a long- forgotten but vibrant radical movement. Leonard and Gallagher break new ground in revealing the extent to which law enforcement will go to infiltrate, destabilize and ultimately destroy domestic political organizations that espouse a philosophy counter to the status quo. To better understand the current state of domestic surveillance and political repression, from Occupy Wall Street to the Edward Snowden revelations, start with this little gem of a book. T.J. English, author of The Savage City and Havana Nocturne In this masterfully written and extensively researched book, Aaron Leonard with Conor A. Gallagher offers a no-nonsense critical analysis of one of the most resilient, misunderstood, and controversial anti-capitalist organizations of the last fifty years. This book is a MUST READ for anyone invested in nuancing their understanding of revolutionary political struggle and unrelenting state repression in the United States. Robeson Taj Frazier, author of The East Is Black: Cold War China in the Black Radical Imagination Based on impeccable research, Heavy Radicals explores the rise of the Revolutionary Communist Party in the late 1960s and 1970s. Militant Maoists, dedicated to revolutionary class struggle, the RCP was one of many organizations that fought to carry on the 60s struggle for radical change in the United States well after SDS and other more well known groups imploded. Leonard and Gallagher help us to understand how the RCP’s revolutionary ideology resonated with a small group of young Heavy Radicals: The FBI’s Secret War on America’s Maoists people in post-1968 America, took inspiration from the People’s Republic of China, and brought down the wrath of the FBI.

  • Stories of Cuban-Americans Living and Learning Bilingually
    STORIES OF CUBAN-AMERICANS LIVING AND LEARNING BILINGUALLY By Natasha Perez A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education – Doctor of Philosophy 2017 ABSTRACT STORIES OF CUBAN-AMERICANS LIVING AND LEARNING BILINGUALLY By Natasha Perez This study explores the interplay of bilingualism, identity, literacy and culture for Cuban- American students in the Cuban diaspora. I contextualize their experiences within the social, historical, and political background of Cuban immigration, situating their stories within the conflicting narratives of Cuban-American imagination in the U.S., to explore how manifestations of Cubania shape the language and literacy practices of Cuban-American youth across generations and contexts, within three U.S. states. Inspired by traditions of phenomenology and narrative inquiry (Clandelin & Connoly, 2000), this study is an intentional narrative “reconstruction of a person’s experience in relationship both to the other and to a social milieu” (CC 200-5), drawing from three narratives of experience, including my own. The three narratives are based on the experiences Cuban- American adolescent girls growing up in different contexts, in search of answers to the following questions: a) For each participant in this study, what are the manifestations of Cuban identity, or Cubania? b) What are the factors that sustain different or similar manifestations of Cubania, both within and across generations of immigrants? c) How, if at all, do manifestations of Cubania shape the language and literacy practices of Cuban-American youth? The narratives in this study demonstrate how language, collective memory, and context become semiotic resources that come to bear on the diasporic identities of the participants.
