		This is most obvious in nostalgic literature set in the idyllic Cuba of the past, as well as those speculating on the Cuba of the future, as in the novels of Roberto G. Fernandez and Cristina Garcia.
		In essence, the boom in the literature today is being forged in English, by people who live and work in the United States -- not in Spanish, as was the case with writers of generations and centuries past.
		In a sense, the literature functions as a mirror, a reflection of the way Hispanic Americans are viewed by the mainstream culture -- but not always the majority.

	Voces Americanas / American Voices
		Thematically, the literature of this group is in flux, for some authors write about assimilation, while others stories are steeped in memories of Cuba and center on the effect of the revolution on several generations of exiles.
		While the literature of the latter groups is generally one of resistance to the majority culture, Cuban-American literature tends to focus on a nostalgia for Cuba.
		Thus, contemporary Hispanic literature is in essence a literature of resistance to economic, social and cultural oppression.

	HLAS 53 Government and Politics Cuba
		THERE ARE SEVERAL RECURRENT THEMES in the contemporary literature on the government and politics of Cuba, namely the internal dynamics of the revolutionary regime, the impact and reverberations of the collapse of communism, and the prospects for the regime's survival in the face of serious economic difficulties and evolving international realignments.
		Timmerman's Cuba: a journey (item bi 91019491) is a testimonial based on first-hand observations and conversations, in which the author probes popular attitudes and finds there has been considerable erosion of the people's support for the Revolution.
		Likewise, Stubbs' Cuba: a test of time (item bi 91019498) offers a sensible interpretation of 30 years of revolution and change while documenting growing discontent and questioning as to where the regime is headed.

	CULTURE-CUBA: Intolerance Cuts Both Ways
		This argument holds that in Cuba there is no literature, music, plastic arts or any other creative productions with true artistic or independent value, and value magically accrues to the work of Cubans only after they go into exile.
		The changes that began to be seen in the Cuban government's cultural policy in the late 1980s and early 1990s moved towards recognising ”Cuban culture as a whole”, although the changes were unable to wipe away the past.
		But a number of Cuban cultural figures who left the country out of opposition to the socialist system assumed attitudes in exile that were as -- or more -- intolerant than those they had been the victims of in Cuba.
