“An excellent range of topics from pre-Columbian and colonial- period archaeology, including heritage and conservation of colonial buildings, which will appeal to a broad readership. The sensitive issue of blockade is brilliantly discussed. . . .The authors succeeded in keeping my interest and attention level high throughout the book.”
—José R. Oliver, UniversityCollege of London
“The volume, as a whole, gives the reader a very interesting overview of the state and history of Cuban archeology, as well as its future directions. It is not so technical that a newcomer to the subject would get lost, and the chapters are all concise and engaging. Since most of the contributors are Cuban, much of what you take away from the book is couched in the island’s scientific tradition, which is itself an interesting glimpse of a foreign approach to research. I strongly recommend Beyond the Blockade to anyone interested in learning about Cuban archeology or furthering their knowledge of the Caribbean.”
