Offering anew lens to explore the multiplicity of Cuban space and identity, she arguesthat these writers approach their nation as part of a larger, transnationalnetwork of islands. Introducing the term "arcubi�lago" to describe the spacescreated by Cuban writers, both on the ground and in print, Lahr-Vivazilluminates how transnational communities are forged and how they functionacross space and time.Lahr-Vivazconsiders how poets, novelists, and essayists of the 1990s and 2000s builtinterconnected communities of readers through blogs, state-sponsored bookfairs, informal methods of book circulation, and intertextual dialogues. Bookchapters offer in-depth analyses of the works of writers as different as ReinaMar�a Rodr�guez, known for lyrical poetry, and Zo� Vald�s, known for stridentcritiques of Fidel Castro. Incorporating insights from on-site interviews inCuba, Spain, and the United States, Lahr-Vivaz analyzes how writers maintainedconnections materially, through the distribution of works, and metaphorically, as their texts bridge spaces separated by geopolitics.Througha decolonizing methodology that resists limiting Cuba to a distinct geographicspace, Writing Islands investigatesthe nuances of Cuban identity, the creation of alternate spaces of identity, the potential of the Internet for artistic expression, and the transnationalbonds that join far-flung communities.
