How does a nation as small as Cuba punch so far above its weight class on the political stage? Why does an island so close to the US feel so culturally and politically far away? What can Cuba’s tumultuous past tell us about its burgeoning future? Join Dr. Rosana Resende of the University of Florida to explore these questions and more in A Brief History of Cuba. From Spanish settlement in the 15th century to the wars for independence in the 1800s to the Cuban Missile Crisis and beyond, you’ll discover the major events and cultural upheavals that have made Cuba into the complex—and often polarizing—nation it is today.
