Ada Ferrer's Memoir Explores Cuban Family History and U.S.-Cuban Relations
Ada Ferrer, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and professor at Princeton, has released a new memoir titled 'Keeper of My Kin: Memoir of an Immigrant Daughter.' The book delves into her family's experiences following the Cuban Revolution, highlighting the lives of 'utterly ordinary people' who were shaped by historical events they did not directly witness. Ferrer's parents emigrated from Cuba in the early 1960s, and her memoir recounts their journey and the impact of political changes on their lives. The narrative is enriched by a collection of personal letters exchanged within her family, offering a poignant look at the emotional and physical separations caused by political upheaval. Ferrer reflects on her family's history and the broader context of U.S.-Cuban relations, including the effects of policies under leaders like President Trump and President Obama.
