Lunch & Learn: Sugar, Cigars & Revolution
| Learn More |
On April 22nd, Dr. Lisandro Perez, author of Sugar, Cigars, and Revolution: The Making of Cuban New York, will trace the development of the largest community of Latin American origin west of the Mississippi River during the 19th century, New York City’s Cuban community.
Driven by the sugar trade and the fight for Cuban independence, New York became the primary destination for Cuban émigrés seeking an education, commerce, wealth, freedom, or even a safe place to plot a revolution.
Join us as Dr. Perez uses primary sources such as census data and vital records to reconstruct the community, bringing to life the stories of individuals and families that made up the fabric of a little-known immigrant world.
Venue: NYC Department of Records and Information Services (DORIS)
