Manage episode 515052895 series 3543279
An Interview with Author of Property of the Revolution! This is part 2!
A Cuban family escapes with 48 hours’ notice and rebuilds a life defined by work, honor and love, seen through the eyes of a six-year-old who learns to turn pain into power. We trace culture, politics, and identity across borders, and why telling the truth preserves dignity.
• culture clash between performance and belonging
• abuela’s wisdom and loud, loving households
• tía’s hidden diploma and the right to keep education
• father’s honor, hard work and unexpected tenderness
• political rifts, CDR pressure and family fights
• racism, lost shifts and choosing dignity
• shame to pride in language, food and music
• citizenship, commitment and becoming American
• speaking up at college against stereotypes
• trauma resurfacing in motherhood and healing
• returning to the old house and reclaiming memory
• Cuba’s current crisis, exodus and silenced voices
