The Libraries’ fall exhibit, California Universities Building Amistad: The UC-Cuba Initiative, celebrates the founding of the new UC-Cuba Initiative. The exhibit also showcases the UCI faculty who are key participants in the project and the Libraries’ diverse resources supporting study and research on Cuba. The Initiative was established in 2006 to bring together interested academics from all UC campuses to coordinate and develop UC-Cuba related academic activities, and to advance levels of mutual knowledge and exchange that exist between the United States and Cuba.
California Universities Building Amistad includes sections on pre- and post-Revolutionary Cuba, U.S.-Cuba relations, social sciences, visual arts, performing arts, literature, and Cuban artists’ books. The materials are drawn from both the general collection and Special Collections and Archives of the UCI Libraries. Philip MacLeod, Research Librarian for Spanish and Portuguese & Latin American Studies, is our curator.
Free and open to the public. Limited seating. Reservations requested, please call (949) 824-5300 or email: partners@uci.edu.
