American Experience Q&A
Professor Ada Ferrer presents a series of lectures exploring 500 years of relations between Cuba and the United States. A Cuban American herself, Professor Ferrer’s deeply personal account of Cuban history focuses on the experiences of the island’s inhabitants, not just the centuries of geopolitics that have shaped their fate. In the 18th and 19th centuries, these forces were rooted in sugar and slavery. In the 20th century, they were defined by Cuban efforts to shake off U.S. political domination and to claim independence—a struggle that began long before Fidel Castro’s rise to power.
