In his cartooning days Jules Feiffer would portray the butterfly fecklessness of his urban neurotics by having them devise dances to their vague emotional or intellectual weathers. It is in this sense that Alma Guillermoprieto titles her book about a young New Yorker... |

The oftentimes inexplicable dalliance of the world's intellectuals with Cuba's 45-year-old repressive regime lies at the heart of Alma Guillermoprieto's Dancing With Cuba: A Memoir of the Revolution. |

With only a small number of very fine books, Alma Guillermoprieto has evolved as one of our best literary reporters, with a special talent for penetrating the troubled inner life of her favorite subject, Latin America. |

By KATHA POLLITT

In 1969, Merce Cunningham offered to recommend his 20-year-old dance student Alma Guillermoprieto for a teaching job at the state-run National Schools of the Arts in Havana. For thousands of young people, caught up in the radical politics of the era, that would have seemed the opportunity of a lifetime, but ... |

| Quote: | Dancing in Cuba, Dancing With Cuba: Two Women's Experiences
by DEBORAH JOWITT
the Village Voice
Burdsall lived through Castro's revolution — very close, in fact, to its epicenter; Guillermoprieto, puzzled and fascinated, underwent a personal revolution while trying to fathom the complex links between those brave days in Cuba's past and the Cuba she encountered. |
