Balance Cubano: "EL INTENSO AROMA DEL CAFé"

I first heard of Carmina Trueba de Mestre from a friend.  She told me about the book that Mrs. Trueba has written, "El Intenso Aroma del Café," and also about a new book in which Mrs. Trueba is a contributor.  Mrs. Trueba has lived a remarkable life, and a very difficult one.  I found this excellent article in the Balance Cubano blog and thought I'd share it on my blog.

Lydia Cabrera

Have you read any of Lydia Cabrera's books?  She was a well-known Cuban anthropologist who wrote several books on Cuba's African culture and its deep roots in Santeria.  The En Caribe blog provides a good introduction to Lydia Cabrera.
