In \u003ci\u003eForging Diaspora\u003c\/i\u003e, Frank Andre Guridy shows that the cross-national relationships nurtured by Afro-Cubans and black Americans helped to shape the political strategies of both groups as they attempted to overcome a shared history of oppression and enslavement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on archival sources in both countries, Guridy traces four encounters between Afro-Cubans and African Americans. These hidden histories of cultural interaction -- of Cuban students attending Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute, the rise of Garveyism, the Havana-Harlem cultural connection during the Harlem Renaissance and Afro-Cubanism movement, and the creation of black travel networks during the Good Neighbor and early Cold War eras -- illustrate the significance of cross-national linkages to the ways both Afro-descended populations negotiated the entangled processes of U.S. imperialism and racial discrimination. As a result of these relationships, argues Guridy, Afro-descended peoples in Cuba and the United States came to identify themselves as part of a transcultural African diaspora.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Forging Diaspora: Afro-Cubans and African Americans in a World of Empire and Jim Crow | Frank Andre Guridy | Paperback | 9780807871034 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1790861","offer_id":68005366628504,"sku":"1790861","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61KJscErh6L.jpg?v=1794706501","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/forging-diaspora-afro-cubans-and-african-americans-in-a-world-of-empire-and-jim-crow","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
