Complementing his narrative with timely images –many of them seldom seen in serious historical treatises– has been Chao’s distinctive contribution to modern historiography This books is a chronicle of half a century of Cubans living in exile. After 50 years of exclusion from Cuba, memories have not disappeared, identities have not been lost, values have not changed and traditions continue to be respected. For many, the hope of returning to Cuba has faded away and the initial apprehensions of exile have simply turned into nostalgia. Cuba has never and will never be forgotten.
