101 – Cuba: Early History to the Revolution, Part 1 w/ Jonathan Dettman
We speak to Professor Jonathan Dettman about Cuba: from early Indigenous history, settler colonialism, to the Revolution. The emphasis of this two-part series is the untold bottom-up history of Cuba. Focusing more on Indigenous peoples, African descendants, and life before and after colonization. To fully appreciate the Revolution, you need to understand the context that led to the Revolution. (If you don't want to wait for part two, it's available now on Patreon.)
Professor Dettman is an associate professor of Spanish as well as the department chair. His current scholarship covers Cuba, the Caribbean, the Southern Cone, and the US Southwest. He's also taught classes in critical theory and comparative literature.
