A Dialogue With Cubans In Ireland
The book Cubans in Ireland portrays the experience of different characters from Cuba living in Ireland. This work illuminates the enduring markers of Cuban identity and exposes the changing face of individual experience. All the images are made around Ireland capturing moments of the personal within the political to illustrate the particularities of people living outside an Island where the struggle for identity is imminent even beyond its frontiers. These people, these lives, these experiences are extracts of an integration process in an advance capitalist society showing different ways of seeing things, different perspectives on life. The pictures combined with transcriptions of interviews made with the subjects provide an insight of the complexity of human adaptation.
