Havana Real: One Blogger Fights to Tell the Truth about Cuba Today

Author: M. J. Porter Yoani Sanchez
Publisher: Melville House Publishing
Category: Biography: General, History Of The Americas, Politics & Government, Marxism & Communism
Book Format: Paperback

Yoani Sanchez is an unusual dissident. She produces an intelligent diary about what it really means to live under the Castro regime in Cuba today: the difficulty of shopping and chronic hunger, the art of repairing ancient appliances, the struggles for real news and the burdens of reading a single-party newspaper. Through sensitive dispatches, Sanchez draws a vivid picture with brutal honesty. Her simple act of truth-telling, as published on her award-winning blog, GenerationY, is collected here for the first time in English.

About Yoani Sánchez

YOANI SÁNCHEZ, a University of Havana graduate in philology, emigrated to Switzerland in 2002. Two years later, she decided to return to Cuba but promised herself she would live there as a free person and started her blog, Generation Y, upon her return. In 2008, Time magazine named her one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World"; it named Generation Y one of the "Best Blogs of 2009." Spain honored her with its highest award for digital journalism, the Ortega y Gasset Prize. In 2011, Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton honored her with the International Women of Culture Award. She lives with her husband, independent journalist Reinaldo Escobar, and their son in a high-rise apartment in Havana overlooking Revolution Square.
Translator M.J. PORTER lives in Seattle, where she is a partner in a transportation-consulting firm. She co-founded the cooperative website, HemosOido.com, where volunteers now translate the work of more than thirty Cuban bloggers into English, German, French and Danish.
