Rejecting the derogatory term "Gringos" and the accusatory epithet "Yanquis," Cubans prefer to refer to us, their North American neighbors, as "Yumas." This blog is simply one Yuma's way of sharing his thoughts on all things Cuban, a subject that often generates more heat than light.

New Book: "Social Relations and the Cuban Health Miracle" - by Elizabeth Kath
My good friend and colleague from "down under," Elizabeth Kath, just informed me that her new book on Cuban health care, "Social Relations and the Cuban Health Miracle," based on extensive ethnographic research in Cuba, is now available from Transaction Publishers.
A flyer describing the book with blurbs of praise from a number of leading Cuba watchers is here.
Later, El Yuma will review a section of the book describing underground health care arrangements in today's Cuba in a post titled: "Negotiations and Love Songs: Cuban Doctors and Underground Health Care Arrangements at Home and Abroad."
