Havana: Two Faces of the Antillean Metropolis
Editorial Reviews
Review of Radical Political Economics
Such fruitful collaboration between Cuban and American scholars is rare, and in this case the results are rich.
Review
This book is an extraordinary document, not least because its subject is a truly great city, perhaps the most interesting in the New World. (Andres Duany, from the Foreword)
An exciting portrait of one of Latin America's most important cities, Havana takes us beyond the usual coffee-table-book photos of crumbling eighteenth-century archways, emphasizing instead the private experience of Havana's denizens. (Lingua Franca)
Such fruitful collaboration between Cuban and American scholars is rare, and in this case the results are rich. (Review of Radical Political Economics)
A seminal work that belongs on any Cubanologist's bookshelf, and an essential text for anyone reading to prepare for a trip to the island. (Environment and Planning A)
The best available reference on the urban development and planning of Havana since its foundation in 1519. What emerges is a complex portrait of Havana's polycentric structure and the processes that have defined it. (Journal of Architectural Education)
