@KiranOpal hey i tried leaving a comment on your blog recently. didnt want to @ u on twitter publicly.
was wondering if you have any reading recommendations that talks about the different people who fled cuba after the revolution, their reasons, and the history of lgbt in cuba.
seen you mention the ppl who fled were most likely ppl of wealth or whom supported batista. i want to learn more
@polynomial hey ~ i don't have a blog up these days - not sure where you left a comment?
I can recommend a few books:
For LGBT stuff, a good read: Rainbow Solidarity: In Defense of Cuba, by Leslie Feinberg https://twitter.com/KiranOpal/status/802618643456487425
On exiles, you can check out
Havana-Miami: the U.S.-Cuba migration conflict
by Jesus Arboleya
and also
The Cuban Counterrevolution
by Jesus Arboleya
(haven't read them all the way yet but he's a good source)
@polynomial also i recommend reading anything written by Fidel and by Che themselves
https://www.amazon.com/Fidel-Castro/e/B001HPDQNA/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_4?qid=1498792270&sr=1-4
