Virtually unknown outside of Cuba, Santamaría was a trusted member of Fidel Castro's inner circle and friend of Che Guevara. Following the Revolution's victory Santamaría founded and ran the cultural and arts institution Casa de las Americas, which attracted cutting-edge artists, exposed Cubans to some of the world's greatest creative minds, and protected queer, black, and feminist artists from state repression. Santamaría's suicide in 1980 caused confusion and discomfort throughout Cuba; despite her commitment to the Revolution, communist orthodoxy's disapproval of suicide prevented the Cuban leadership from mourning and celebrating her in the Plaza of the Revolution. In this impressionistic portrait of her friend Haydée Santamaría, Margaret Randall shows how one woman can help change the course of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret Randall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822359623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargaret Randall is the author of dozens of books of poetry and prose, including \u003ci\u003eChe on My Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, and the translator of \u003ci\u003eWhen Rains Became Floods: A Child Soldier's Story\u003c\/i\u003e, both also published by Duke University Press.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43150675312755,"sku":"9.78082E+12","price":50.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_04e805af-caf9-4214-a8d3-df5ae0492a44.jpg?v=1750769502","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/haydzse-santamarza-cuban-revolutionary-she-led-by-transgression-9780822359623","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
