A balanced account of Cuba's current realities,
Culture Shock! Cuba is a must-read for
people who wish to visit or do business in Cuba. Also
a fascinating read for those curious to know more
about this controversial country. On the "required
reading" or "highly recommended" lists of numerous
American universities with study programs abroad.
"For a deeper look at current Cuba and its many faces,
we unhesitatingly recommend Culture Shock! Cuba by
Mark Cramer ... a thoughtful prism for coming to grips
with many of the contradictions in today's Cuban
society. An sometimes hilariously funny, too."

(Mark's other travel narratives, on Bolivia, Mexico,
New York and Barcelona, can be purchased or ordered at
most bookstores. His new insider's view of Paris will
be published in the Spring of 2005.)
