{"product_id":"9781438442570","title":"Cuban Intersections of Literary and Urban Spaces","description":"Cuban Intersections of Literary and Urban Spaces examines Havana as a center where urban and literary spaces often come together. The idea for this collection of essays grew out of an international conference on Cuba, Cuba Futures: Past and Present, held by the City University of New York's Bildner Center for Western Hemisphere Studies at CUNY's Graduate Center in 2011, but evolved out of a collaboration with scholars in the fields of literature, architecture, urban planning, and library science. The topics addressed peek at a dynamic Cuban nation through its cultural interstices at a crucial moment in the island's evolving history. This conference proceeding opens with a piece on the intersections between Havana's colonial built environment and the literary aesthetic of the Baroque in the Caribbean. The collection continues with the following areas of study: urban gardens, urban planning, architecture, literary projections on space, international relations and cultural institutions, access to books, and social policies.","brand":"State University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134300831984,"sku":"9781438442570","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781438442570_p0.jpg?v=1763756304","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781438442570","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
