{"product_id":"dancing-with-cuba-a-memoir-of-the-revolution-9780375725814","title":"Dancing with Cuba: A Memoir of the Revolution","description":"In 1970 a young dancer named Alma Guillermoprieto left New York to take a job teaching at Cuba's National School of Dance. For six months, she worked in mirrorless studios (it was considered more revolutionary); her poorly trained but ardent students worked without them but dreamt of greatness. Yet in the midst of chronic shortages and revolutionary upheaval, Guillermoprieto found in Cuba a people whose sense of purpose touched her forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this electrifying memoir, Guillermoprieto-now an award-winning journalist and arguably one of our finest writers on Latin America- resurrects a time when dancers and revolutionaries seemed to occupy the same historical stage and even a floor exercise could be a profoundly political act. Exuberant and elegiac, tender and unsparing, \u003cb\u003eDancing with Cuba\u003c\/b\u003e is a triumph of memory and feeling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alma Guillermoprieto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/08\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.06h x 5.22w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375725814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlma Guillermoprieto writes frequently for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e (where the first chapter of this book appeared in 2002) and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e.
