Property of the Revolution: From a Cuban Barrio to a New Hampshire Mill Town—A Memoir In-Person
Author Ana Hebra Flaster joins us to share her book and her experiences. In her sweeping, historical, yet intimate memoir, Ana details her family’s transformation from pro-Castro revolutionaries in a scrappy Havana barrio to refugees in a New Hampshire mill town—a timeless and timely tale of loss and reinvention.
Ana Hebra Flaster was six years old when her working-class family was kicked out of their Havana barrio for opposing communism. Once devoted revolutionaries themselves but disillusioned by the Castro government’s repressive tactics, they fled to the US. The permanent losses they suffered—of home, country, and loved ones, all within forty-eight hours—haunted her multigenerational family as they reclaimed their lives and freedom in 1967 New Hampshire.
