This project, with its focus on the diversity and dignity of young Cubans, was born out of multiple trips to Cuba over
twenty-five years, developing relationships and observing the slow but ever increasing changes and openings that have
unfolded, particularly during the last ten years, and especially visible among the latest generations.
When using the term “diversity” and referring to its growth and expansion in Cuba, I am speaking not only of racial and
cultural diversity, but also of diversity in terms of gender and identity, sexuality, spirituality, sustainability and inequalities
and how young people express themselves through fashion, communication, community, work and life on the island.
This book is a celebration of young Cubans today.
