The Cubans
Guest:\xa0Anthony DePalma; author of "The Cubans: Ordinary Lives in Extraordinary Times."
Cuba\u2019s image is often overshadowed by conflicts with the outside world, and it\u2019s citizens\u2019 voices are lost in the noise. Anthony DePalma wants these voices to resurface. His book, "The Cubans," gives us a clear picture of what Cuba is today, and the complex experiences of the people living there.\xa0
