original description

The novelist José Manuel Prieto and Nation contributor Daniel Wilkinson, the deputy director of the Americas division at Human Rights Watch, discuss Prieto's essay Travels by Taxi, from The Nation's Fall Books issue. Prieto was born in Havana in 1962 and left Cuba in the late 1980s, at odds with what he calls the Cuban Revolution's deep and terrible idealism. In his essay - and this video - Prieto reflects on the positive and negative consequences of that idealism for Cubans generally and also on the cultural and political dimensions of Cuba's relationship with the United States.
