  • Summary

  • Worldly guest co-host Jen Kirby talks to Michael Bustamante, professor of Latin American history at Florida International University and the author of Cuban Memory Wars: Retrospective Politics in Revolution and Exile (2021), about Cuba’s recent protests, the largest in decades. They discuss the origins of the current crisis and what it means for thousands of Cubans to take to the streets to resist the country’s regime. They also talk about the US-Cuba relationship and how the US should — and shouldn’t — respond. References: Here’s why Cubans are protesting. This is a brief explainer on Cuba’s currency devaluation. Vox wrote about the Biden administration’s Cuba dilemma. You can find Bustamante’s latest book on Cubans’ memories of the revolution here.
