520    "To most outsiders, the fate of Cuba has never been more 
       uncertain. Yet those who look closely enough may recognize
       that signs of the next revolution are etched in plain 
       view. [This book] is a true story that begins in the 
       summer of 2009 when a young American photojournalist is 
       offered the chance of a lifetime--a two-year assignment in
       Havana. For David Ariosto, the island is an intriguing new
       world, unmoored from the one he left behind. From 
       neighboring military coups, suspected honey traps, salty 
       spooks, and desperate migrants to dissidents, doctors, and
       Havana's empty shelves, Ariosto uncovers the island's 
       subtle absurdities, its Cold War mystique, and the hopes 
       of a people in the throes of transition. Beyond the 
       classic cars, salsa, and cigars lies a country in which 
       black markets are ubiquitous, free speech is restricted, 
       privacy is curtailed, sanctions wreak havoc, and an almost
       Kafkaesque goo of Soviet-style bureaucracy still slows the
       gears of an economy desperate to move forward. But life in
       Cuba is indeed changing, as satellite dishes and internet 
       hotspots dot the landscape and more Americans want in. 
       Still, it's not so simple. The old sentries on both sides 
       of the Florida Straits remain at their posts, fists 
       clenched and guarding against the specter of a Cold War 
       that never quite ended, despite the death of Fidel and the
       handover of the presidency to a man whose last name isn't 
       Castro. And now, a crisis is brewing. In This is Cuba, 
       Ariosto looks at Cuba from the inside out over the course 
       of nine years, endeavoring to expose clues for what's in 
       store for the island as it undergoes its biggest change in
       more than half a century."--Dust jacket.
