Summary: A must-read about historical and contemporary Cuba
Comment: Joseph Scarpaci is a well-known expert on Cuba, especially in affairs dealing with urban planning and related subjects. Having studied with Dr. Scarpaci on a short academic trip to Cuba, I can personally testify to his expansive knowledge base. This book, a compilation of information dealing with the history and development of Havana, is a must-have for anyone interested in learning more about Havana, and Cuba overall. Though much of the book focuses on the history of the capital, those who are interested in learning about contemporary Cuba will find a wealth of information on why Cuba has developed the way it has. The only reason I gave this four stars instead of five, is that the reader must be made aware that this is a scholarly work, so those accustomed to reading only fiction for pleasure may find the style a bit difficult. However, this is an outstanding piece of work that should be in the house of any person truly interested in discovering more about Cuba.
Rating: 5
Summary: This is the seminal book on the history of Havana.
Comment: This book is a rich resource on a wide range of issues associated with the nearly 500 years of growth and transformation of Havana. It is a seminal work that belongs on any Cubanologist's bookshelf, and an essential text for anyone reading to prepare for a trip to the island. It is also an important work for those with only a passing interest in the specifics of Havana's built environment, but who are interested in urban history, architectural forms, state socialism, or Cuba's post-Soviet transition.
