Just recently got the Havana Before Castro. It's a wonderful book.
I was going through it last night and it inspired me to go through my mom's photo's since she was born in Havana, Cuba. I have noticed that on all the photo's and paperwork it is spelled Habana with a "b", not too sure why. Lanague barrier, maybe?? On page 103 they mention different clubs one being the Zombie Club, which I found a picture of my Great Aunt and Uncle being there with a few friends. The book is an inspiration to me. Hopefully one day I can visit Habana, Cuba to see where my mom grew up. There is a book signing on Sept, 20th @ La Luz De Jesus
