"Cuba is a mosaic painting." Frequent island hoppers Missen, a Pulitzer Prize-winning French author, and Hausherr, a French photographer, cite this quote in noting Cuba's multiracial,
multiethnic society. They convey the diversity of Cuba's people, livelihoods, landscapes, and wildlife through photographs and commentary. The volume includes quotes relating to the country's
history, family backgrounds, attitudes toward life and foreigners, and economic challenges; a map; and references. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
