A Family Divided By Cuba’s Revolution

from KQED's Forum · host KQED

On May 13th, Cuba ran out of oil, crippling public services for nearly 10 million people. It’s a result of a months-long oil blockade initiated by the Trump administration. We’ll talk with Ada Ferrer, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian of US-Cuba relations, about this latest development in the long-tumultuous relationship between these two nations. She’s the author of the new book, “Keeper of My Kin: Memoir of an Immigrant Daughter” She weaves together Cuba’s history with her own family’s story, and she shares what – and who – they left behind to come to America. Guests: Ada Ferrer, professor of history, Princeton University; author of "Keeper of My Kin: Memoir of an Immigrant Daughter" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
