Bienvenidos a...Miami? What about Havana?

Greetings, everyone! Welcome to "Cuba In and Out of Exile" (Spanish 117).

Did you know that not all Cuban-Americans are from Miami?

Did you know that you can see Cuba from the Florida Keys on a clear day? Have you ever wondered about our neighbor only 90 miles away?

This site will serve as our weekly discussion board. You will post comments, voice your thoughts, put forth analysis of texts and visual materials, as well as respond to your classmates' ideas. I hope this will help make your experience in our "Cuba" class exciting and productive. We will discuss revolution, exile, identity, place, language, and so much more.

You should view this posting not only as a way to interact with your classmates (and show your active participation in the course!) but also as an exercise in writing. Before you post, make sure that your posting is clear, concise, and well-written. Check over your work, and determine that your main point comes across.

Have fun!
